Unitary Thrift

A unitary thrift is a type of financial institution that is owned by a single entity. This entity can be a person, a company, or a government agency. Unitary thrifts are typically smaller than other types of thrifts, such as mutual savings banks and savings and loan associations. They also tend to have a more limited range of services than other thrifts.

Unitary thrifts are often used by individuals and small businesses who are looking for a local financial institution that can provide them with personal service. These thrifts typically offer a variety of deposit products, such as savings accounts, checking accounts, and certificates of deposit. They may also offer loans, such as mortgages, personal loans, and business loans.

Unitary thrifts are regulated by the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS). The OTS is responsible for ensuring that unitary thrifts are operating in a safe and sound manner. The OTS also sets rules and regulations that unitary thrifts must follow.
