- Business
- 1895 Bancorp of Wisconsin, Inc. (Nasdaq: BCOW) operates as the holding company for PyraMax Bank, FSB, a federally chartered community savings bank established in 1895 and headquartered in Greenfield, Wisconsin. PyraMax Bank accepts deposits from the general public through a network of three full-service offices in Milwaukee County, two in Waukesha County, and one in Ozaukee County, Wisconsin, offering checking accounts, savings accounts, certificates of deposit, and money market accounts; it deploys these funds along with operational capital primarily into one- to four-family residential real estate loans, commercial real estate loans including non-owner occupied, multi-family, and owner-occupied properties, commercial and industrial business loans, home equity loans, and consumer loans, while maintaining a securities portfolio of mortgage-backed securities, U.S. Treasury notes, municipal bonds, asset-backed securities, and corporate debt. The bank targets individual consumers, small businesses, and local enterprises in the greater Milwaukee metropolitan area, emphasizing personalized service, organic loan originations, and selective loan participation purchases to diversify its portfolio and manage interest rate risk. In February 2025, the company engaged Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc., a leading investment bank, to explore a broad range of strategic alternatives including potential business combinations or sale of control to enhance shareholder value; concurrently, it voluntarily delisted its common stock from Nasdaq and deregistered with the SEC to reduce compliance costs and refocus management on core community banking operations, with ongoing financial disclosures available via annual reports on its website and FDIC call reports.
