Broadway Bank and

The transaction, which was facilitated by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation, is the bank's fifth and sixth
FDIC-assisted activity since last year. In a statement, MB said
it is actively expanding its branch network.
"MB has been part of Chicago-area banking for 100 years. We are
pleased to once again work with the FDIC to provide a safe and
sacure home at MB for these banking relationships," said
Mitchell Feiger, the bank's president and chief executive
officer.
The four Broadway and three New Century branches will be renamed
as MB Financial Bank as soon as they reopen, accommodoating both
old and new customers.
"Once we move Broadway Bank and New Century Bank computer
operating systems to those at MB, all customers will have access
to nearly 90 locations; our Telephone Banking Center, which is
open seven days a week and our Internet Banking systems. We
expect all customers to have access to our ATM network within one
week," added Feiger.
