The parent of Champaign-based Busey Bank is acquiring the parent of Glenview State Bank in a $191 million deal, Crain s Chicago Business is reporting.
Busey Bank is mainly a downstate lender that entered the Chicago market in 2017 via the purchase of Joliet s First Community Financial Partners, which was about the same size as Glenview State Bank is now, Crain s reports. Now it will take over the Glenview bank s $1.4 billion in assets. The deal is in the form of cash and stock, with about three-quarters of the price in cash, Crain s says.
