U.S. Bancorp, MUFG Union Bank Announce Sale of Three California Branches to HomeStreet Bank

HomeStreet to retain all branch employees and keep branches open

U.S. Bancorp and MUFG Union Bank N.A. (“MUFG Union Bank”) announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement to sell three legacy MUFG Union Bank branches in San Bernardino County, California to HomeStreet Bank (“HomeStreet”). The divestiture of these branches, as directed by the Department of Justice, is related to U.S. Bancorp’s previously announced acquisition of MUFG Union Bank’s core regional banking franchise.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20221005005928/en/

Under the agreement, the MUFG Union Bank branches located at the following addresses will be sold to HomeStreet:

  • 42138 Big Bear Boulevard, Big Bear Lake, California
  • 17123 Main Street, Hesperia, California
  • 57500 29 Palms Highway, Yucca Valley, California

The acquisition by HomeStreet will include the deposits, customer relationships, related loans, owned real estate and fixed assets associated with the branches, as well as the employees of the branches. As part of the purchase agreement, HomeStreet will assume approximately $490 million in deposits and purchase approximately $22 million in loans.

“We are happy to welcome the employees and customers of these branches to our network of retail deposit branches in Southern California,” said Mark K. Mason, HomeStreet’s Chairman of the Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer. “The addition of these three branches will bring HomeStreet’s total number of branches in Southern California to 20, including four in San Bernardino County. Additionally, this acquisition will increase our customer base by approximately 16,000 customer relationships, and the additional funding will support our strategic growth. We have an outstanding record of customer service and community involvement, and we look forward to having a positive impact on the new customers and communities we will be serving.”

“HomeStreet is committed to retaining all current Union Bank employees at the three branches upon the close of the transaction. HomeStreet believes that maintaining strong relationships both with employees and customers will be critical to the long-term growth and success of the branches. HomeStreet will provide additional information to the employees and customers of the branches that are slated for purchase by HomeStreet in the near term.”

The sale is expected to close in the first quarter of 2023, subject to regulatory approval of the branch sale and other closing conditions, including the closing of U.S. Bancorp’s acquisition of MUFG Union Bank’s core regional banking franchise.
