Heartland Bank and Trust Company presented nine donations totaling over $7,000 to schools for orders placed for the schools Spirit Debit Cards between Dec. 2021 and Feb. 2022.

Schools that received donations included Deer Creek – Mackinaw, Delavan, El Paso Gridley, Lexington, Metamora, Princeton, Somonauk, Washington, and Illinois State University.

“Offering optional designs on debit cards may be new, but customers have been doing it for years on their checks,” stated Diane Lanier, Chief Retail Officer. “With the world going more electronic and a continued focus on the environment, we wanted to offer our customers personal options on their debit cards other than our standard design.”

Heartland Bank’s Spirit Debit Card program currently features 54 local schools with the school’s team mascot or crest as an optional design for the face of the card.

This option allows customers to select the school design of their choice for a $10 cost and Heartland Bank will donate $5 back to the school for each debit card ordered.

Customers can order this option through Heartland Bank at one of their local offices as the full list of participating schools is available on the Heartland Bank website.

Heartland Bank and Trust Company is a community bank with assets of approximately $4.3 billion. Headquartered in Bloomington, Illinois, the bank has offices in central and northern Illinois and eastern Iowa.
