William H. SperlingRepublic Bank of Chicago - Our Financials

A Message from the President


2009 was a strong and productive year for Republic Bank!

Although 2009 was an extremely challenging year for banking, the U.S. economy, and the financial markets in general, Republic Bank continued its tradition of profitability and growth. In 2009, our assets grew by 25%, to $1.3 billion with the acquisition of National Bank of Commerce (NBC) in Berkeley, IL and the Bank of Lincolnwood (BOL) in Lincolnwood, Illinois.  2009 earnings rose to the highest level in the 45-year history of the bank. With the additions of NBC and BOL, we have increased Republic's service coverage to 14 banking centers throughout greater Chicagoland. A 15th center is planned for Tinley Park and is scheduled for third quarter 2010. Capital strength is especially important in the current financial environment, and today we can boast of having over $120 million in capital, placing us among those U.S. banks that are considered “well capitalized” by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.   

Our vision and mission statement clearly defines who we are:

We are committed to providing creative financial solutions that enhance and inspire our customer's business and personal lifestyle.

We help our customers achieve their success by employing enthusiastic professionals and empowering them to deliver the "ultimate customer experience."

We define this as "The Republic Way."

We know you have many banking choices.  That's why we work hard to provide convenient, quality products, services and locations to make your life easier.

Thanks for the continued opportunity to serve you.  Come in and experience "The Republic Way" today!

Sincerely,

William H. Sperling
Vice Chairman/CEO/President
March 2010
