TIAA Bank exiting retail mortgage lending, selling to U.S. Bank

Just over 18 months ago, TIAA was finalizing its $2.5 billion acquisition of EverBank, touting the deal as a “significant” expansion of its retail footprint and an extension of its existing retirement, investment and advisory services. Then, in July 2018, the company rebranded TIAA Direct and EverBank to TIAA Bank. But now, just a few months later, TIAA Bank is moving to get out of retail mortgage lending and will shift its focus to digital mortgages.
