I think it reflects Premier Bank’s commitment to the needs of our community and to the legal profession in Madison County. Opening a Lawyers Trust Fund account with an Honor Roll bank is a great way for attorneys to support legal aid in Illinois.”

Premier Bank’s Edwardsville Banking Center is a branch of Premier Bank of Jacksonville. Premier Bank is an independent community bank that offers a full range of banking services in addition to Lawyers Trust Fund Accounts.
