The Federal Savings Bank, a Kansas-based home lender bought last year
by a pair of Chicago brothers in the mortgage banking business, is
opening a national home loan center in the West Loop that it says will
create 400 jobs over three years.
The bank said it's getting $9.5 million in tax breaks over 10 years from
the state through the Economic Development for a Growing Economy,
or EDGE, program. It's also getting up to $4 million in training funds
from the city of Chicago.
Steve Calk, the Chicago-based chairman and chief executive of National
Bancorp Holdings, said the bank, which in marketing material bills
itself as "veteran-owned and operated," evaluated locations on both
coasts and in Chicago's suburbs. Calk, a former combat helicopter pilot
who along with his tank commander brother, John, bought the
Overland Park, Kan.-based bank in 2011, said he'll look to hire from
candidates that includes "returning warriors and military veterans" and
train them to be lenders, underwriters, loan processors, accountants
and loan closers. Sixteen veterans are featured in the bank's corporate
literature.
About 50 people have been hired at the 300 N. Elizabeth St. location,
where Calk also runs Chicago Bancorp, a national mortgage banker.

Federal Savings Bank has plans to bring 400 jobs
to its new Chicago location over three years at
its new lending center in the West Loop.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel and bank Chairman and
CEO Stephen Calk said the Kansas-based home
lender would create a minimum of 300 jobs within two years at its new location at 300 N. Elizabeth St.
The state will provide up to $9.5 million in tax credits over 10 years based on job creation, while the city will
provide up to $4 million in TIF funding for the bank to train new employees. The jobs will be a combination of
new positions, relocated positions, and recent hires made ahead of the move, according to a company
statement.
The bank will hire veterans, meeting a goal of Emanuel’s. Both Calk and his brother John, who serves as vice
chairman of the bank, are veterans.
The home lender will also have a hand in Emanuel’s College to Careers program, another of the mayor’s efforts
to create jobs in Chicago. Federal Savings Bank will work to develop curriculum for students at Harold
Washington College.
The Calk brothers, both Chicago mortgage bankers, bought what was Overland Park, Kan.-based Generations
Bank in 2011. The renamed Federal Savings Bank became profitable within its first three months and was
named by the American Bankers Association Journal as the most profitable bank in America with assets less
than $100 million.

- 9. Bank Focused on Military Veterans
Tops the List with 147% Growth in Assets
Newton, Mass. (November 1, 2012) – BestCashCow, an online resource for
comprehensive bank rate information, today released its list of the top ten
fastest growing banks in the U.S. Banks were ranked based on organic growth
of assets and return on equity for the year ending June 30, 2012.
The Federal Savings Bank, based in Overland Park, KS, tops the list with
147% growth in assets and a 48% return on equity last year. The Federal
Savings Bank is a veteran-owned and operated bank formed in April 2011
following National Bancorp Holdings' purchase of Generations Bank. The
bank's focus on providing mortgage loans to veterans and first-time home
buyers has been the primary driver in its growth over the last year.
"The Federal Savings Bank has experienced tremendous success in the last Chairman and CEO Stephen Calk
two years by exercising a disciplined approach to measuring, monitoring
and controlling our business plan," said Steve Calk, Chairman and CEO. "We have focused extensive
investment in the customer experience and our infrastructure, while expanding nationally at a controlled
and profitable pace. All of this has been possible by hiring and empowering women and men of superior
character and work ethic, including a large number of returning combat veterans."
"Despite the pressure of low interest rates, many small and community-based banks are thriving," said
Sol Nasisi, president of BestCashCow. "They are able to do so because they have the right formula to
succeed in today's economy. They have well-defined markets, entrepreneurial cultures and solid balance
sheets and at the end of the day, success breeds success. As these banks continue to grow and effectively
compete in their local markets, more and more consumers are looking to them for their next mortgage,
business loan or credit card."
