About Us

Blackhawk Bank & Trust has been serving the banking needs of the Quad Cities community since 1961 when ground was broken on our first branch in Milan, Illinois. Today the Blackhawk Bank & Trust branch footprint extends through the counties of Rock Island, Mercer, and Henry in Illinois, and Scott in Iowa.

With over 18 branch locations and nearly 240 employees, Blackhawk Bank & Trust is small enough to make quick, local decisions; yet, we are large enough to handle almost any need a customer may have. Blackhawk Bank & Trust is a locally owned and operated Financial Institution.

Our stock is privately held and our decisions are made by our local Board of Directors. The bank’s mission statement reads:

“At Blackhawk Bank & Trust we are very cognizant of both our ethical and financial commitment to our customers, employees and shareholders. Therefore, we adhere to a simple mission statement which forms the basis of our business plan: to serve the needs of our customers, employees and shareholders while maintaining local ownership. We Are Safe, Solid and Secure.”
