WARRENVILLE, IL, UNITED STATES, November 5, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Fortress Bank and Compass Mortgage proudly announce that they have joined forces, Fortress Bank acquiring Compass Mortgage in the fourth quarter of this year. This strategic partnership marks a significant milestone as Compass Mortgage celebrates its 25th anniversary.

Under this new ownership, Compass Mortgage will continue to operate as it has, now as a wholly owned subsidiary of Fortress Bank. Dan Graham, CEO of Compass Mortgage, and the rest of the leadership team will remain in their roles, ensuring a seamless transition and continuity in service.
