The Bowery Savings Bank of New York City was chartered in May 1834 and is now part of Capital One Bank. ==History== The Bowery Savings Bank opened in 1834 at the site of what is now 128-130 Bowery in Manhattan.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Bowery Savings Bank First Floor Interior )〕 By 1980 it had over 35 branches located in the boroughs of Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens, as well as Nassau and Suffolk counties on Long Island. When bank deregulation was enacted the bank began to suffer losses as a result of rising savings account interest rates. By 1982 the bank was running out of cash; in 1985 the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) arranged for the bank to be sold to Richard Ravitch and others. It was sold for $100 million and allowed to maintain a capital deficit of $220 million rather than pay out on the $5 billion in deposits. In 1992 it was sold to H. F. Ahmanson & Co for $200 million. The name was changed by 1993 to Home Savings of America. In 1995 Ahmanson sold their New York operations to Greenpoint Savings Bank. By 2004 Greenpoint had been sold to North Fork Bank, and in 2007 North Fork was sold to Capital One Bank. From 1972 to 1992, baseball Hall-of-Famer Joe DiMaggio was spokesman for the Bowery Savings Bank.〔(The American Experience )〕 Timeline *5/1/1834 – New York State chartered the Bowery Savings Bank (5/1834–10/1985) *10/22/1920 – Universal Savings Bank acquired by merger *2/14/1949 – North River Savings Bank acquired by merger *2/11/1980 – Equitable Savings & Loan Association acquired by merger *10/1/1985 – Merge with The State Bowery Savings Bank *4/20/1992 – Name changed to Home Savings of America, Bowery Division, a state savings bank *9/1/1992 – Converted to Federal Home Savings of America, Bowery Division, a Federal savings bank 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bowery Savings Bank」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
