In Brief: Dime Unit Taking Over Louisiana Lender

North American Mortgage Co., a subsidiary of Dime Bancorp, said it has acquired the assets of T&N Mortgage Inc.

T&N Mortgage, of Monroe, La., has 15 loan production offices in five states and originated $303 million in home loans in 1998. North American funded more than $30.8 billion in home loans, making it the sixth-largest residential lender.

North American said the addition of T&N will help build market share and brand recognition in the Gulf states and will strengthen retail origination capabilities in Texas and Tennessee.
