Dr Papa Kwesi Nduom’s Groupe Nduom has completed the transaction to acquire Illinois-Service Federal Savings Bank (ISF Bank) following the regulatory approval by the US Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.
During the completion of the transaction, Dr Nduom said that the Nduom family was proud to support the leading institution and trusted Chicago partner which, for eight decades, has worked to revitalize the urban areas in which it operates.
He added: “Our investment will enable the Bank to build upon its legacy by providing a suite of innovative financial services and products to address its customers’ needs. This investment helps ensure that minority focused banks continue to play a vital role in community economic development.”
The Bank began in 1934 when community leaders came together to establish a savings and loan association sensitive to the needs of African-American residents of Chicago. The ISF Bank has two offices in the City, and through its Internet banking program, its services and products are available nationwide.
