about us
Blackhawk Bank & Trust has been serving the banking needs of the Quad Cities community since 1961, when we opened our first branch in Milan, Illinois. Now, more than 60 years later, we manage approximately $1.7 billion in assets, supported by over 220 employees at 18 locations, 15 ITMs, and 20 ATMs throughout Rock Island, Mercer, and Henry counties in Illinois, and Scott County in Iowa. We remain small enough to make quick, local decisions, yet large enough to handle almost any customer need. As a locally owned and operated financial institution, our stock is privately held, and decisions are made by our local Board of Directors.
Its no secret that a locally grown, owned, and operated bank celebrating over 60 years of success is an achievement denied to many who sold out to large corporate machines. We are proud to be so locally rooted while remaining safe, solid, secure and Not for Sale.
Community involvement and giving
Blackhawk Bank & Trust is an enthusiastic community partner. Annually, we donate to and participate in many community events and fundraisers. These donations are one way in which we strive to support and uplift the people, organizations, municipalities, and businesses in the communities we serve.
We are also dedicated volunteers.The nearly 230 employees of Blackhawk Bank & Trust volunteer over 10,500 hours of volunteer time each year to over 275 unique organizations throughout the counties of Rock Island, Henry, and Mercer in Illinois, and Scott in Iowa.
