Community opened its first office in a small
store front location at 3208 North Cicero Avenue on
September 21, 1944. Over the years, Community
has grown into a family financial center serving
northwest Chicago from the Cicero-Belmont
neighborhood.

Much of our success over the past half century is
a result of our commitment to our founder Peter
Cleven's number one priority: "The safety and
protection of our members' funds is always our most
important consideration."

Community's commitment to safety and security
has never changed, but the ways that customers
transact banking business has changed dramatically
in recent times. Community customers are now
enjoying the convenience of electronic banking
and other technological advances. More and more
customers are banking 24 hours a day with their
Total Service Card. Community customers are also
enjoying the convenience of telephone banking
with the Total Service Connection. They can check
on balances, verify deposits, transfer funds and find
out current interest rates -- 24 hours a day from any
touchtone phone. Customers are also enjoying the
extended banking hours with Community's new
Drive- thru/Walk-up windows; business can now be
transacted in person on Wednesdays and
Saturday afternoons.

In recent years, many financial institutions have
merged into larger, less personal banks. At
Community, we remain independent, serving
customers' personal banking needs. Community
continues to provide innovative savings and lending
programs, competitive rates, FDIC insurance and
knowledgeable, personal service. These are the
cornerstones of Community's Total Service. It's a
philosophy you can continue to expect from Your
Personal Neighborhood Bank.
