in Brief: Intercontinental Sells $1B of Servicing

MIAMI, Fla. - Intercontinental Bank has sold $1 billion of mortgage servicing rights to Trans Financial Inc., for a pretax gain of about $6.2 million, the bank said.

The servicing rights were owned by an Intercontinental subsidiary, Pan American Mortgage Co.

Intercontinental, a $1.1 billion-asset bank with 24 offices in three counties, previously announced its agreement to be acquired by NationsBank Corp. in a tax-free exchange valued at $30 a share. The deal, however, is being held up by a Community Reinvestment Act protest filed by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters against NationsBank.
