Helping Local Businesses Grow the Chicago-Style Way - Meet Elizabeth Proctor, Byline Bank

Meet Elizabeth Proctor, Branch Manager at Byline Bank, who has been helping local businesses gain the financial tools they need to grow and succeed for more than twenty years. Elizabeth takes pride in serving the same community she calls home, offering a personal, face-to-face approach to banking that builds lasting relationships.

 Byline Bank is a member FDIC and equal housing lender, full-service financial institution with a strong focus on small businesses. With all the resources of a large bank and the personalized service of a neighborhood branch, Byline does banking the Chicago-style way by supporting local entrepreneurs, making decisions locally, and staying engaged in the communities it serves.

Elizabeth’s career in banking began 22 years ago when she started as a teller and worked her way up through dedication, hard work, and genuine care for her clients. She believes success is measured not by numbers, but by helping people turn their business goals into reality. From opening a first business checking account to providing guidance on saving for the future, Elizabeth finds joy in empowering others to take control of their financial journey.

Her advice for the community: “Handling your finances can feel big, overwhelming, or even scary at times, but that’s what we’re here for. Even if you just need a second opinion, we’re always happy to help.”

As a proud Lincolnwood resident, Elizabeth lives, shops, and supports the same community she serves. Together with her dedicated team at Byline Bank, she continues to champion local growth, help small businesses thrive, and strengthen the connections that make Lincolnwood a place to call home.
