Purchase of the Alsip bank, which has $59 million in assets, will bolster Heritage's leading market position in southwest suburban Chicago, said Richard T. Wojcik, Heritage chairman and chief executive officer.
Heritage has $665 million in assets and operates eight banking offices and a trust company. Heritage announced separately that it halted negotiations to acquire a branch of Lemont Savings Association, based in Illinois. A letter of intent to acquire the branch was signed in August.
