MADISON, Wis., Sept. 12, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- This past weekend (Friday evening through Sunday), all 46 AnchorBank offices
were converted to Old National Bank facilities. The conversion included both banking systems and signage, with all offices
re-opening today with existing staff in place. Twenty-one of the banking centers are in Madison, with additional branches
concentrated in Milwaukee and Fox Valley.
This completes Old National Bancorp’s acquisition of Anchor BancCorp, which was announced in January of this year. Founded in
Evansville, Ind., in 1834, with $14.4 billion in total assets and 201 banking centers, Old National Bancorp is the parent company
of Old National Bank. This partnership positions Old National as the seventh largest deposit holder in Wisconsin and the fifth
largest in the Madison MSA, offering an expanded suite of products and services to former clients of AnchorBank.
“From the first days of our partnership, we were confident that Old National’s values and client- and community-focused approach
to banking would be a tremendous fit for the great state of Wisconsin,” said Len Devaisher, Old National’s Wisconsin Region CEO.
“We are incredibly excited to officially welcome clients today as Old National Bank, and we look forward to earning their continued
trust and loyalty while also introducing Old National to others within the communities we serve.”
As part of the conversion, Old National Bank donated 200 computers to the Digital Divide Project, a pilot started by the City of
Madison to improve access to computers and network/internet services to all citizens, with special attention to low-income
families. This is part of Old National’s overarching commitment to community that saw the company donate more than 1,400 units of
electronic equipment in 2015, for an in-kind dollar value over $190,000, along with more than $5 million in total grants and
sponsorships dispersed throughout its footprint.
“The Digital Divide Project and its three-pronged approach of providing educational services, equipment access and Internet
access is something we are extremely proud of and excited to support,” said Devaisher. “As a community bank, we recognize the
tremendous value of strengthening the communities we serve.”
