About Us

Ridgestone Bank was founded in 1995. Current management and shareholders acquired the bank in September of 2006. Ridgestone operates in the Southeastern Wisconsin and Greater Chicagoland markets. We have strategic support of two of our investors: The Ziegler Companies, Inc. and Bridge Finance Group. We have the focus of providing custom tailored solutions for each customer. Given our focus and strategic relationships, the customer should expect a different approach to banking. Our solutions won't always be the standard "yes" or "no" that you might expect from a bank. Let us show you how we can succeed together through innovative thinking and solutions!
