From Wikipedia: NetBank, formerly named Atlanta Internet Bank (1996) and Net.B@nk
(1998), was a financial company engaged primarily in retail banking,
mortgage banking, business finance and providing ATM and merchant
processing services. NetBank was founded in February 1996 and completed
its initial public offering of stock in July 1997. It was one of the
pioneers of the Internet banking industry, and recognized as one of the
first internet-only banks.
Netbank was
closed on September 28, 2007 by the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS)
in conjunction with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).
FDIC insured deposits were acquired by another on-line bank ING Direct.
Several shareholders have filed class action lawsuits against Netbank
claiming misrepresentation of the company value during the
restructuring period.
