Morton Community Bank was organized in 1960 by a group of Morton businesspeople in order to better serve the community and its businesses. MCB opened its doors on August 26, 1961, with a single location at 671 W. Jackson Street in Morton, and seven employees.

Since then, MCB has grown with an emphasis on attracting and retaining customers by providing exceptional banking services, and by acquiring other community banks and continuing to provide exceptional service. Since the late 1980’s, MCB has completed 23 acquisitions.

Today, MCB has 53 locations in 38 communities in Central and Northwest Illinois, with 600 employees and $5.6 billion in assets.
