About Us

Level One Bank was created by a team of local business leaders and passionate bankers who believed in a better way to bank. Committed to the vision, many left their positions at larger financial institutions to build something new, something better. These entrepreneurs recognized the need for a bank that could provide the sophisticated products of a big bank with the local decision making and personal service of a community bank. We believe local banks play a key role in the vitality of our community and the growth of local businesses. We position ourselves to meet the needs of our clients by listening and learning about them individually with a consultative approach. A stark contrast from the product pushing approach used at large financial institutions.

Our success has been recognized locally and nationally. We've been honored as the Small Business Administration (SBA) Michigan District's Community Lender of the Year and Export Finance Lender of the Year, one of SNL Financials' Top 100 Performing Community Banks, Inc. Magazine's list of 5,000 Fastest Growing Private Companies in America, one of Metro Detroit's 101 Best & Brightest Companies to Work For and one of American Banker Magazine's Best Banks to Work For.

Today, we are a full-service commercial and consumer bank. As we continue to grow, we remain committed to community banking and fulfilling our vision of providing a better way to bank for our clients and communities. Our bankers are experienced, enthusiastic and entrepreneurial. We welcome you to visit with us and enjoy the experience of bank with Level One!
