Arlington

Arlington isn’t just where Leader Bank does business – it’s  where our story began. More than two decades ago, we opened our very first branch in East Arlington, laying the foundation for a bank built on personal relationships, community partnership, and long-term commitment. Today, Arlington remains the heart of our operations, home to our Corporate Headquarters, Residential Lending Headquarters, and our East Arlington and Arlington Heights branches – reflecting our belief that strong communities are built by organizations that live, work, and invest locally.

Celebrating the Moments That Bring Us Together

Community connections are at the core of Leader Bank’s mission, and nowhere is that more evident than in Arlington. We’re proud to actively support and participate in the events that bring neighbors together and celebrate what makes this town special.

Throughout the year, you’ll find Leader Bank involved in many of Arlington’s most cherished community gatherings, including:

• Arlington Town Day, celebrating local businesses and community spirit
• The Arlington Patriots Day Parade, honoring history and hometown pride
• The Walk for Affordable Housing, supporting access and stability for local families
• First Lights, kicking off the holiday season with warmth and tradition
• Feast of the East, showcasing the vibrancy of East Arlington
• Tech Night at Beech Street Senior Center, helping bridge the digital divide
• First-Time Homebuyer (FTHB) Seminars, empowering residents through education
• The Arlington Greek Festival, celebrating culture, food, and community

These events reflect the diversity, energy, and neighborly spirit that make Arlington home – and we’re honored to play a role in supporting them year after year.

Leader Bank’s commitment to Arlington extends beyond events to the organizations that provide essential services, education, and opportunity throughout the community. We are proud to support and partner with local organizations including:

Supporting Affordable Housing in Arlington 

Leader Bank was proud to continue its support for affordable housing in our hometown with a $20,000 donation to the Housing Corporation of Arlington in 2025 . This contribution reflects our long-standing commitment to community development and to ensuring access to essential services for families at risk of homelessness.
As Arlington’s hometown bank, we believe that investing in housing, education, and community services strengthens not just individual lives – but the future of the entire town.
 

Armstrong Ambulance

Leader Bank’s Commercial Lending team worked with Armstrong Ambulance to provide a line of credit for working capital, as well as multiple vehicle loans to upgrade the business’s ambulance fleet so they can continue to provide their patients with the highest quality life-saving care. 

DWM Property Management

Working with Leader Bank, DWM Property Management uses ZDeposit to simplify and automate the opening of security deposit bank accounts. And with ZRent, DWM can help take the hassle out of rent day by allowing landlords to collect consolidated rent payments and tenants to set and forget their monthly payments.
