The Forest Park National Bank and Trust Company has been serving your community since first opening its doors in May of 1943. In 1989, it became a privately owned, independent, community bank when it was purchased by Jerry Vainisi, Chairman of the Board and C. William Hughes, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer. The bank is currently owned by Jerry Vainisi who serves as Chairman of the Board and CEO. Since then we have added Forest Mortgage Services to deliver a more complete menu of residential mortgage products to our customers.
