Star Bank Closes Deal for 49 Offices

Star Bank, the primary subsidiary of Star Banc Corp., Cincinnati, has closed its acquisition of 49 Bank One branches in Ohio, including about $1.1 billion of deposits and $115 million of loans.

The deal was announced in February 1998. Terms were not disclosed.

All 49 former Bank One branches, which are spread around 26 Ohio counties, reopened Saturday as Star Bank offices, complete with signs and a full line of Star products.

Star Banc, a $14 billion-asset holding company, now has 286 branches in Ohio.
