Charity Master Account

We created our Charity Master Account to give something back to the community. Our ultimate goal is to allow these organizations to keep money working towards the cause for which it is meant.

Charity Master is a series of accounts and services designed to fulfill the banking needs of charities, schools and other not-for-profit organizations, including:

Credit Card Processing

Credit cards have become a convenient and sometimes necessary part of daily operations and fundraising endeavors. Charities and schools often lack the transaction volumes to obtain the most economical processing fees and support costly equipment... resulting in lost revenues or delayed cash flow. To help you in this area, we provide a credit card processing system that is affordable and easy to use.

* This service is available to not-for-profit organizations at a special rate
* There is no need to purchase costly equipment
* If you have the processing volume to support your own direct processing system, we still offer discounts on equipment and transaction costs

Cash Services

* Cash boxes and cash counting services are available to you at no cost. Just call ahead to reserve the boxes and we can even organize them for you!

Credit Availability

* Many times, charities and schools find themselves with opportunities which require the extension of credit-either on a short term or long term basis. Our bank, or in conjunction with the State of Illinois or other government agencies, can provide qualified borrowers with the perfect loan at competitive rates to meet their needs.

Trust and Investment Services

* Our affiliated Wayne Hummer® Wealth Management Group (Wayne Hummer Investments, Wayne Hummer Asset Management Company®, and Wayne Hummer Trust®) offers a variety of services and seminars, including:

   o Planned Giving
   o Charitable Remainder Trusts 
   o Individual Estate Planning
