In Brief: Pa. Web Bank to Offer Brokerage Services

USABanc.com said it will launch an on-line banking and brokerage service this month.

The service will include 24-hour access to account balances and bill payment, as well as on-line applications for residential, auto, and commercial loans, the company said.

The $250 million-asset banking company, formerly known as USABancshares, will offer new "EnergyOne" interest-earning accounts on its Web site. The accounts carry a minimum balance of $1.

A wholly owned brokerage subsidiary, USACapital, will offer on-line stock trading, along with equity and mutual fund research, at www.USAForce.com.

This year, USABanc.com generated publicity by holding on-line auctions for FDIC-insured certificates of deposit.
