Dan Rutherford - Illinois State Treasurer

The Treasurer’s Office is in charge of investing state and local taxpayer dollars. A substantial portion of the portfolio is deposited in banks, credit unions and savings and loan institutions statewide. The goal is to return some tax dollars to the communities where they were collected. A strong, local banking industry lends itself to a healthy community.

By becoming an approved state depository, you can reinvest in your community in many ways. The Treasurer’s Office encourages local financial institutions to offer low-interest loans to consumers, businesses and non-profit agencies and to work with us to award mortgages to home buyers with less-than-perfect credit.

To become an approved state depository, return the forms listed below with a request for a state deposit that specifies your desired amount and term. A representative will call you the day your application is received. Once your application is verified, your deposit can be processed in a few days.

To help you monitor our investment, interest rates are updated here on a daily basis. Our portfolio returns are posted on a monthly basis.
