World Savings and Loan

The roots of World Savings and Loan can be traced back to 1912, when it was established in Madera, California as World Savings.  From 1929 through 1963, a series of acquisitions and mergers took place, and in 1975 World Savings merged with Golden West Savings.  At this time, the company had assets of $1.8 billion, and had operations in both California and Colorado.  Additionally, the subsidiaries of these companies (savings and loans) merged, and then had 107 offices in two states.

In 1982, World Savings acquired First S&L Shares, which added 48 branches and $1.3 billion in assets, quickly followed by the acquisition of Bell Savings Banc—allowing World Savings to expand into the Texas market.  In 1990, World Savings and Loan expanded east into New Jersey, with the acquisition of Community Savings and its six offices.  In 1991, World Savings and Loan entered Florida and Arizona, with the acquisitions of Beach Federal and Security Federal Savings, respectively.  From 1998 to 2004, World Savings and Loan opened branches in Illinois, Nevada and New York, continuing to increase its assets and market shares.
