American Bank & Trust | 1,195 followers on LinkedIn. Together We Can. | American Bank and Trust Company, began as a neighborhood bank on the Hilltop in Rock Island, Illinois. It began with a simple idea – that customers should receive the same kind of friendly and personalized service we would appreciate ourselves. 46 years later, this simple philosophy has helped us grow to become a $375 million, locally-owned regional financial services company with a network of 150+ Associates, 8 retail locations and 18 ATMs in the Quad Cities, IA/IL, and Kane County, IL. Our primary emphasis is to provide excellent service at a fair value and to establish, develop and retain long-term, relationship banking opportunities.
