Telebank, an Internet bank based in Arlington, Virginia with about 70,000 customers in all 50 states and some 20 countries, is one of the nation's leading Internet banks. Founded 10 years ago, Telebank has rapidly grown phenomenally, averaging 100 percent growth in both assets and deposits over the last three years. One of the secrets behind Telebank's success, is 200 employees and one location. Mitchell Caplan, CEO of Telebank, made the choice to close down all of his original branches in order to operate at a much lower cost structure than typical brick and mortar banks. Now Telebank is able to provide fast and convenient banking via the Internet. E-Trade has even seen the unlimited potential through Telebank and has recently struck a deal buying Telebank, making the merged company the first financial service supermarket on the Internet. quotes.freerealtime.com
