History

Devon Bank opened originally as the Devon-North Town State Bank, 2345 W. Devon Avenue, on Tuesday, June 19, 1945, just before the end of World War II. The founders were local merchants who believed that the community known then as North Town, on Chicago’s North Side, would benefit from a community bank.

In 2011, 66 years later, the Devon Bank has remained an independent community bank with deep roots in its communities and with the dedicated customer commitment envisioned by its founders. Owned and operated by the Loundy family since 1953, Devon Bank has grown gracefully, along with its customers and communities. Today there are only three branches from a one-time maximum of 17 locations; including five full-service offices and 12 senior residence facilities.
