What TFS Financial does

Cleveland, Ohio-based thrift focused on home-equity loans and residential mortgages, structured as a mutual holding company.

Earns the gap between interest on the mortgages and home-equity lines it keeps on its books and what it pays savers, with little fee income. Branches are in Ohio and Florida, and it relies on customer deposits. A depositor-owned parent, Third Federal Savings and Loan Association of Cleveland, MHC, holds the majority of shares.
