Business Loans

As the saying goes, "it takes money to make money" - which is exactly where Prairie Community Bank can help your business the most.

As a locally-owned and operated community bank, our lending decisions are made in-house and often much faster than our competitors.  We can do this because we're based in the communities where you live and work.  And, when you deposit with us, those funds are reinvested directly back into the community by way of loans to your friends and neighbors.

Prairie Community Bank strives to build strong relationships with all of our business customers.  We will get to know you and your business in-depth, and truly be Your Partner.  Our nearby Marengo, Elgin, and Union IL branches are ready to serve you.
