Wintrust Financial Corporation (WTFC) is a financial holding company headquartered in Rosemont, Illinois, operating through Community Banking, Specialty Finance, and Wealth Management segments.

This structure is common among regional banks seeking to compete with national institutions through localized relationship management.
The Community Banking division provides traditional deposit and loan products, including residential mortgages and commercial real estate financing. The Specialty Finance segment differentiates the company by offering niche services such as insurance premium financing and administrative solutions for the temporary staffing industry.
