Originally founded in 1965 as Seaway National Bank of Chicago, it grew to become one of the largest Black-owned banks in the United States. For decades, it was a cornerstone of Chicago's South Side community, providing crucial financial services and support. In 2017, the original bank failed and was closed by regulators. Its assets and deposits were acquired by State Bank of Texas, which continues to operate the branches under the historic "Seaway" brand name, maintaining its mission of community banking.
