Ameriquest to close all 229 branches and cut jobs
Ameriquest Mortgage Co plans to close 229 retail branches and cut about 3800 jobs after a 46 percent drop in loan volume to 2.6 billion in the first quarter. The Orange California lender said it is not for sale but faces higher rates and competition and has faced government probes into predatory lending. Analysts say reforms from a 325 million multi-state settlement raised costs and hurt profitability.
