What NSTS Bancorp, Inc. does

In the company’s own words

NSTS Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq Capital Market: NSTS) operates as a savings and loan holding company for North Shore Trust and Savings, a federally-chartered stock savings institution established in 1921. The company's website is www.northshoretrust.com.

North Shore Trust and Savings functions as a traditional savings institution primarily serving the banking needs of customers in Lake County, Illinois and adjacent communities, including Cook County and Will County in Illinois, and Kenosha County in Wisconsin. The bank operates from its headquarters in Waukegan, Illinois, along with two additional full-service branch offices in Waukegan and Lindenhurst, Illinois. The company maintains three loan production offices in Chicago, Aurora, and Plainfield, Illinois to expand loan originations throughout the Chicagoland area under the Oak Leaf Community Mortgage brand.

The bank's core business involves attracting deposits from the general public and deploying those funds into loans and securities. As of December 31, 2025, the loan portfolio totaled $128.6 million, with one- to four-family residential mortgage loans comprising 91.3 percent of total loans. The portfolio also includes multi-family residential loans at 2.5 percent, commercial real estate loans at 3.0 percent, construction loans at 3.0 percent, and consumer loans at 0.2 percent. The investment securities portfolio totaled $78.7 million, consisting primarily of collateralized mortgage obligations, mortgage-backed securities, municipal obligations, and U.S. government agency obligations.

The company derives income principally from interest earned on loans and investment securities, gains on sales of mortgage loans into the secondary market, and fees associated with loan originations and deposit services. Total deposits reached $181.5 million at year-end 2025, with core deposits representing 50.7 percent of total deposits. The bank maintains a diversified customer base supported by the region's stable employment base, anchored by major employers including pharmaceutical companies, government entities, and logistics operations. The company competes with credit unions, commercial banks, other savings institutions, and mortgage banking companies throughout its market area.

Fund ownership counts N-PORT filers only, so it is a floor rather than a census — pensions, insurers and direct holders are not visible here, and the remainder is not “held by individuals”.
