Profile

NSTS Bancorp, Inc.NSTSFinancials

Owns North Shore Trust and Savings, a Lake County community bank funded by deposits and oriented toward one-to-four-family residential mortgages. Commercial real-estate, multifamily, construction, and consumer lending complete the loan offering; Brookfield Bancshares' acquisition agreement remains pending.

Operates through North Shore Trust and Savings, a traditional savings institution serving Lake County, Illinois, and adjacent communities. Deposits fund lending focused on one-to-four-family residential mortgages, complemented by commercial-real-estate, multifamily, construction, and consumer loans.

Branch offices are in Waukegan and Lindenhurst, with a Chicago loan-production office. The bank's public roots lie in 1921, while the listed holding company emerged from a 2022 mutual-to-stock conversion.

Deposit gathering and local mortgage activity shape the business. The Oak Leaf Community Mortgage division was divested in June 2026, and Brookfield Bancshares' agreement to acquire NSTS remains pending regulatory and shareholder approvals and other closing conditions.
