Burr Ridge Bank and Trust is located in Burr Ridge, Illinois, which is in suburban Chicago. Jackson pointed out a few advantages a new bank has when opening its doors in this rugged economic climate.

“We have no type of debt,” Jackson told WBBM, “like all the other banks. We’re a small community bank and one thing we all decided, is that if we are going to do a bank in our community, it needs to be owned by the people who live in the community.”

Since retiring from an athletic career that included stints in both the NFL and in the MLB, Jackson has had his hand in a number of startup businesses. He’s currently the co-owner of N’Genuity Enterprises and Bo Jackson Elite Sports.

We’ll see if Bo Knows Banking.
