First American Bank was founded in Chicago over 50 years ago. It was chartered in Illinois and over the years expanded to Wisconsin & Florida. It is a family- owned business & the largest privately held bank in Illinois. In the early 90s, there were no banking restrictions. Banks were consolidating the banks they owned. That is how First American Bank eventually got started-from consolidations. It is a full service bank with a lot of international banking in Miami, Florida, an entry to Latin America. They believe they are in some ways a study in contrasts because they are a community bank at heart with international expertise! First American Bank is founded on a culture of service excellence, professionalism & honest communication.

After a century of service, everyday we still ask the question, "How can we better serve our customers?"

What is today Comed began as the Western Edison Light Company, one of several companies owned by inventor & researcher Thomas Edison. As you may know, Edison experimented with electric currents & created an early light bulb that wasn't ready for mass use. It didn't last long enough. One of Edison's employees, African-American draftsman & engineer, Lewis Latimer, perfected the longer-lasting carbon filament, which would revolutionize the world. In July, 1892, another Edison employee moved to Chicago to run Edison's local company, Chicago Edison. Sam Insull had a sharp business mind & eagerly increased his knowledge of electricity. Through improved marketing & increased demand for electric lighting, Commonwealth Edison was born in September 1907.
