Ypsilanti, Michigan TCF location

Approximately 90 former Chemical Bank branches are now operated by TCF Bank in the state of Michigan.

TCF bought the Great Lakes National Bank in Michigan in 1995, which significantly expanded its presence there. Great Lakes National Bank was the name under which TCF Bank's Michigan branches did business from 1995 until 1998. As of the year 1999, all of the locations had new TCF flags affixed to them (see [11]).

TCF Bank was named the university's "preferred provider" of banking services for students, faculty, and staff in 2002. Since 2015, when the University decided to end the contract, the parties are no longer in compliance. [12]

Controversies [ edit ]

Interest incurred for overdrawing a bank account [ edit ]

Overdraft fees were the basis of a lawsuit filed against TCF Bank in 2010. Some of these practices, such as prioritizing the processing of transactions with the highest dollar amounts in order to quickly drain customers' accounts so that TCF could then increase the total overdraft charges from the remaining transactions, have recently come to light. as well as levying daily overdraft charges as opposed to a single, yearly charge, Adding a daily $28 fee for overdrafts was part of a policy change made by TCF Bank in 2011. [17] The bank changed its mind about the policy in 2012 due to public pressure. [18]

The legislation known as the "Bank Secrecy Act" [ edit ]

A $10 million fine for breaking the Bank Secrecy Act was levied against TCF in January 2013. The bank's tardiness in reporting suspicious activity led to this [19].

A Discrimination Lawsuit [ edit ]

When African-American account holder Sauntore Thomas tried to deposit settlement checks he had received in a racial discrimination lawsuit on January 21, 2020, an assistant manager at the TCF branch on Middlebelt Road in Livonia, Michigan, called the police. The branch manager claimed the checks were fraudulent because she could not verify their legitimacy. Despite the customer's attorney's confirmation that the checks were legitimate, TCF still filed a police report accusing him of fraud. On January 22, 2020, Thomas sued the bank for "unspecified damages." TCF issued an apology on January 23, 2020, saying the police should not have been called and detailing the precautions the company takes when dealing with large deposits and requests for cash. [22][20]

Title to a Name [ edit ]

TCF Bank and the University of Minnesota announced on March 24, 2005, that TCF Bank would contribute $35 million over a 25-year period toward an on-campus outdoor football stadium in exchange for naming rights to the facility. [23] Originally set to expire on December 31, 2005, the agreement was extended until June 30, 2006, after both parties agreed to the extension in order to give the legislature time to appropriate more funds. On May 24, 2006, Governor Tim Pawlenty signed the bill authorizing the stadium, and on September 12, 2009, the stadium opened for the first Gopher football game of the season.

The facility is now known by its new name following the December 2020 merger of TCF and Huntington. [25]

The Detroit Regional Convention Facility Authority (DRCFA) granted Chemical Bank a 22-year contract for venue naming rights to Cobo Hall on February 20, 2019. DRCFA and the bank's officials announced the new name of the building, TCF Center, after the August merger between Chemical and TCF was finalized. On December 9, 2021, the building was rebranded as Huntington Place after TCF and Huntington merged the previous year. [28][29]
