With six full-service office locations throughout Ogle and Winnebago counties, we still remain locally owned and headquartered right here in the Rock River Valley.

Stillman Bank has been cultivated through a long and continuing tradition of integrity, community involvement, and leadership that builds value for our customers, communities, and shareholders; all of which are important to our success.
In addition to the products and services we offer, Stillman Bank provides support to numerous community organizations with monetary donations, resources, and volunteer hours. As your neighbors, our employees are truly living, working, and investing in the betterment of our local communities
