The formal application documents and supplementary information that are requested help the Chicago FHLB's underwriting staff determine membership eligibility. For questions regarding the membership application process or membership requirements, please call the New Member Coordinator at (312) 565-5375.
 Overview of the Application Process
 
  1. The institution submits a Membership Application package to the Chicago Federal Home Loan Bank. Before beginning the application process, the applicant may choose to have the Chicago FHLB review their institution's assets to determine the extent to which those assets can serve as collateral for Chicago FHLB advances.


  2. The Chicago FHLB reviews the application for completeness.


  3. Once the application is complete, Chicago FHLB staff determines whether the institution meets all statutory eligibility requirements and underwriting review standards. If additional justification is necessary, Chicago FHLB staff works with the institution to obtain it.


  4. Once approved, Chicago FHLB staff works with the applicant's staff to make sure all necessary forms are submitted and the stock purchase is completed within 60 calendar days of approval.
