IndyMac Bank Metal Bottle Opener
Open a favorite bottle with a reference to a memorable chapter in California financial history. The IndyMac Bank Metal Bottle Opener celebrates the Pasadena-based bank whose name became familiar during the mortgage-driven growth of the 2000s. The design is for collectors of retired corporate identities, old bank branding, and financial-era artifacts. Keep it handy for gatherings, home bars, and conversations about vanished institutions and changing California business landscapes.
IndyMac, short for Independent National Mortgage Corporation, began in 1985 as Countrywide Mortgage Investment, founded by David S. Loeb and Angelo Mozilo to collateralize loans too large for sale to major secondary-market purchasers. Countrywide spun off IndyMac as an independent company in 1997, with Mike Perry as chief executive. In July 2000, IndyMac Mortgage Holdings acquired SGV Bancorp, parent of First Federal Savings and Loan Association of San Gabriel Valley, adopted the IndyMac Bank name, and became a California-headquartered bank. Its Pasadena holding company later acquired Financial Freedom in 2004, New York Mortgage Company in 2007, and Barrington Capital Corporation in 2007. The bank expanded through mortgage lending, including Alt-A and reverse mortgages. Following mortgage-market disruption, the FDIC placed IndyMac Bank into conservatorship on July 11, 2008. Much of the business was sold to IMB HoldCo LLC and became OneWest Bank, while IndyMac Federal Bank was created to wind down remaining assets and liabilities.
