Byline Bank, a commercial banking institution headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, operated under the corporate name Metropolitan Bank Group prior to its comprehensive restructuring and rebrand. Following a strategic recapitalization effort led by experienced private equity investors and banking executives who acquired the network of troubled community banks in the Chicago area, the institution underwent an extensive operational turnaround. To signal a fresh corporate beginning, modern management practices, and a renewed commitment to relationship-driven business and personal banking throughout the local metropolitan market, the institution officially changed its name to Byline Bank, updating its public brand and successfully launching a subsequent initial public offering.
