Hometown professionals working together to build a stronger community

Home State Bank opened its doors to McHenry County in 1915, and for 100 years we have been serving the Mchenry County area.  From the beginning, it has been our goal to create a better quality of life for our neighbors, and to work together to build a better community.  Experience and reputation, coupled with an "eye-popping" rate, is our value proposition .

Our relationship to the community has remained as strong as it was from our beginning, and it continues to grow today. In the words of Home State Bank's President & CEO, Steven L. Slack, "We are not just out looking for loans and deposits, we are looking for long-term relationships."

Our leadership team works closely with our experienced mortgage professionals so that your process will remain streamlined and convenient. 

Technology has changed the way we are able to fulfill the needs of today's consumers, whether you are an experienced borrower or a first time homebuyer looking for trusted guidance.  However, the people who are "pressing the buttons" to process the loans must operate with accountability and integrity.
