Madison—Old National Bank (NASDAQ: ONB) announced today that as of May 1, 2016, it has completed its partnership with Anchor BanCorp Wisconsin Inc.

As a result of the closing, AnchorBank is now officially a division of Old National, with full conversion and integration of all AnchorBank branches to Old National Bank planned for the third quarter of 2016.
