In November 2011, TCF National Bank finalized its acquisition of Gateway One Lending & Finance in Anaheim, Calif. TCF Bank has $18.8 in total assets and operates more than 400 branches, primarily in Minnesota, Illinois, and Michigan. Year-to-date auto loan ABS issuance is $41 billion, with prime accounting for about $27 billion, or 65% of the total.
