[edit] History

TCF Bank, formerly Twin City Federal, has roots that can be traced to 1923. The current name was taken in the mid-1980s at the same time TCF Financial Corporation was formed as a holding company to take advantage of easing regulations and allow expansion. Several major purchases notwithstanding, TCF Bank has grown primarily through de novo expansion. The company has stated that it expects to continue this strategy, as well as its present rate of rapid branch growth.[3]

[edit] Minnesota

TCF Bank was founded in Minneapolis and, with more than 100 branches,[4] continues to be a major force in the Twin Cities area. In-store branches are located inside of Cub Foods stores. TCF Bank also operates campus branches in partnership with the University of Minnesota, (including the Duluth campus), St. Cloud State University, Minnesota State University - Mankato, Brown College and Bryman Institute.

[edit] Illinois

TCF Bank operates over 200 locations in Chicagoland,[5] including branches located inside of Jewel-Osco stores.

TCF Bank also operates campus branches in partnership with DePaul University, Northern Illinois University and St. Xavier University. A new partnership with the University of Illinois was announced in March, 2007. The partnership provides for branches and ATMs on the Chicago and Urbana campuses.

[edit] Indiana

Five TCF Bank branches in northern Indiana are operated by TCF Bank Illinois.

[edit] Wisconsin

TCF Bank operates 23 branches in the metro Milwaukee area, as well as 5 in Racine and 4 in Kenosha. It is currently the title sponsor of the Milwaukee Air Expo, which is billed as "the largest two day event in Wisconsin." TCF Bank also operates campus banking in partnership with the Milwaukee Area Technical College.

[edit] Michigan

In 1994, TCF entered Michigan through an acquisition of First Federal Savings Bank of Oakland County which had gone into receivership and been run by the federal government for 13 months. In 1995 TCF doubled its Michigan presence through the acquisition of Great Lakes Bancorp, the last major acquisition made by the company. From 1995 until 1999 all TCF banks in Michigan operated under the Great Lakes National Bank name. In 1999 all banks were reflagged as TCF.

In 2002, the University of Michigan announced that TCF Bank had been selected as a preferred provider of banking services to students, faculty, and staff. TCF offers a similar service to Saginaw Valley State University, expanding to Eastern Michigan University and Northern Michigan University in 2006. [6]

In 2005, TCF Bank announced the sale of its Michigan headquarters building to Ann Arbor, Michigan real-estate company McKinley Associates. The corporate headquarters moved to Livonia, Michigan on December 18th, 2006.

Bank executives have stated that they hope to have 150 Michigan branches by 2015, mostly through continued growth in the areas surrounding Detroit and Ann Arbor.

On November 6, 2006, TCF announced the sale of 10 branches in Battle Creek, Bay City, and Saginaw to Independent Bank. With this sale, TCF's 51 branches will be concentrated in Southeast Michigan, primarily in and around metro Detroit.[7]

[edit] Colorado

TCF has 35 branches in the metro Denver area and 8 in Colorado Springs.

[edit] Arizona

On November 9, 2005, TCF announced that it would file an application with the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to open a subsidiary bank in Arizona, to be known as TCF Bank Arizona. Timothy B. Meyer was named the President of this new bank. TCF opened a lending office in both Mesa and Glendale in 2006. TCF's first branch office was opened in Mesa, Arizona on December 13, 2006.

  • President: Barry Winslow
  • Executive Vice President & Chief Marketing Officer: Candace Lex

[edit] Fees

TCF has come under frequent criticism for its fees, particularly the overdraft fees, which are actually average for a financial institution. In this regard, TCF has come under particular attack because their supermarket branches, free checking accounts, and extended hours often attract customers with lower incomes, who can ill-afford such fees. Many states are considering or have already enacted new legal limits which would bring bank overdraft fees under usury laws, and this could impede TCF's future profitability and growth.

[edit] TCF Bank Stadium

On March 24, 2005, TCF Bank and the University of Minnesota announced the bank will contribute $35 million toward a proposed outdoor, on-campus football stadium, in exchange for naming rights. The original agreement was to expire December 31, 2005 but was extended to June 30, 2006.[8] The bill authorizing the stadium was signed into law by the governor on May 24, 2006, and the new stadium is expected to open in time for the 2009 football season.
