Standard Federal's $96M Tops Detroit Loan Plan's Goal

Standard Federal Bank said it is ahead of its first- year lending goal for Detroit as part of its Community Action Plan.

Nearly $96 million in total loans were granted, putting Standard Federal six months ahead of its production schedule.

The three-year plan was developed in association with the Detroit Alliance for Fair Banking.

It includes $203 million for home mortgages, commercial and real estate loans, home equity loans, home improvement loans, and other consumer loans during the three years.

Standard Federal is "helping increase the available stock of housing and providing homeownership opportunities for low- to moderate-income persons in the city of Detroit," said Mary M. Fowlie, senior vice president, regulatory affairs and compliance/CRA.

Standard Federal is the state's leading home mortgage lender and the largest thrift headquartered in the Midwest.

It was acquired May 1 by ABN Amro North America Inc., the U.S. unit of the Dutch bank.
