History

It was chartered in 1905 as Citizens Bank of Brooklyn. Through various mergers with banks throughout New York City it became a growing commercial bank. In 1961 it merged with Hanover Trust and was renamed Manufacturers Hanover Trust Company. The bank became the main source of financing for check cashing stores. In 1987 they bought some of the branches of Dollar Dry Dock Savings Bank. In 1992 it bought the New York City branches of the failed Goldome. By 1992 it was running out of money due to Savings account interest rates and bad loans. By the end of 1992 Chemical Bank had purchased the operations of MHT. In 1996 Chemical bought Chase Manhattan Bank and changed its name to Chase. "'

Prior to acquistion, the bank was sometimes referred to as "Manny Hanny". [http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=940DE7DB1038F93BA1575BC0A96E948260]
