January 18, 2019 — Wintrust announced it will be opening a new bank location in Naples, Florida in early 2019. This new branch, Wintrust Banking Center, marks the first Wintrust Community Bank outside of the Company’s Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin footprint.

The expansion will allow current customers who travel to, or live in, Florida during the winter season to access their finances and the reliable banking services Wintrust offers, all year round. Two veteran Wintrust employees, Tara Fedorko and Wendy Aguilera, will be branch manager and assistant branch manager at the Wintrust Banking Center.

“We’re looking forward to entering the Florida market,” said Wintrust President, CEO, & Founder Edward J. Wehmer. “We’ll be making our way south not only for the sunshine, but to be a financial resource for current and new customers alike. We’ll be the same community bank customers up here know and love. Our commitment to supporting local businesses and organizations is integral to who we are, so we look forward to developing relationships in the Naples community.” 

Customers will have access to banking services offered at all Wintrust Community Banks including deposits, withdrawals, loan payments, wealth management, mortgage, and more. Wintrust Banking Center will operate under Lake Forest Bank & Trust Company, N.A., one of Wintrust’s charter banks.

The address of the Wintrust Banking Center is:

3401 Tamiami Trail North
Naples, Florida 34103
