About Terme
Terme has broad experience in the financial services industry. Stating with the historic acquisition and operation of Argo Federal Savings and Loan Association in 1987 from the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation (FSLIC) and entry into online financial services in 1995, it quickly established one of the first internet branch operations, UmbrellaBank.com in 1999 with a US based ATM network of 2400 owned sites. The bank is uniquely qualified as an innovative leader in this market arena. Additionally the company has always furthered philanthropic and social causes evidenced by providing financial services to the un-banked and under banked markets. This was accomplished by a pioneering effort of opening a successful branch on Chicago's tough West Side, where none existed for thirty-five years. They also spearheaded placement of inner city ATM's, providing support for the development of an electronic debit card to acquire assistance payments from governmental entities and participation with a social service agency to employ ex-offenders to assist in many aspects of the current housing crisis.
