Our Story


When you bank at a locally owned bank, you can feel the difference. You can tell by the way you’re greeted, you can tell by the way you’re appreciated, and you can tell by the way we make decisions that have a positive impact on the communities we serve. Come to Hickory Point Bank and feel the difference. We’re local—and wouldn’t have it any other way.

Our Beginnings

Founded in 1979 as a locally owned community bank, Hickory Point Bank was acquired by Archer-Daniels-Midland Company (ADM), Decatur, IL in 1986 and operated as a wholly owned subsidiary of ADM between 1986 and 2011.

In 2011, First Illinois Corporation, formed by local bank executives, directors, and business leaders purchased Hickory Point Bank, and returned the company to its roots as a locally owned community bank.
