Eagle Financial Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (OTCQB:EFBI), the
holding company for Eagle Savings Bank, today announced that its
Board of Directors has received regulatory approval to change the
Bank’s legal name from Eagle Savings Bank to EAGLE.bank. Later this
year, the Company plans to register as a bank holding company with
the Federal Reserve Bank of Cincinnati in connection with
EAGLE.bank’s acceptance of the universal bank charter as provided
for under Ohio law.
Gary Koester, President and Chief Executive Officer of the
Company stated “We are excited to announce that during the second
quarter of 2021 we will transition over to EAGLE.bank from our
eaglesavings.com domain to provide an even more secure banking
experience. To maintain our technological leadership among
community banks and to meet the challenges of the future,
EAGLE.bank will continue to invest heavily in state-of-the-art
technology. Changing our domain name is another step toward
ensuring our customer’s security. The .BANK domain is an
industry-led cybersecurity initiative providing banks and our
customers with protection against fraud and preparing our platforms
for the digital movement. Only a bank can register for a .BANK
domain. This change will help to prevent phishing attacks against
our employees, customers and vendors by providing a visual
identification cue for our emails and website. Therefore, all
future communications from us will use EAGLE.bank. In the meantime,
website redirection and email forwarding will remain in place for
the foreseeable future.”
