Industry: Banking | Category: Top Financial Companies

While Chevy Chase continues to be a large mortgage lender in this region, it cut back its national lending and closed its California offices. It stayed away from the subprime market, so delinquencies are well below the national average. The company laid off more than 300 employees as it reduced banking hours. In the past year it ratcheted up small-business banking, expanded commercial lending into Baltimore and expanded its money management business.
