History[]
While the roots of EverBank stretch back to 1961, the current incarnation was formed in 1994 when Chairman Robert Clements led an investor group in acquiring Jacksonville, Florida–based Alliance Mortgage Company.[8] In 1998, Alliance Mortgage Company formed First Alliance Bank in Jacksonville, Florida. In 2001, First Alliance Bank acquired Marine National Bank, also of Jacksonville, Florida.[9] In 1999, Frank Trotter and partners led an investor group to found EverBank.[10]
The World Markets division of EverBank originated as a department of Mark Twain Bank, a St. Louis, Missouri, bank.[10] In 1997, Mark Twain Bank was acquired by Mercantile Bank.[11][12] EverBank acquired the world currency division from Mercantile Bank in April 1999.[13]
In 2001, Everbank was named 'Best of the Web' by Forbes.[14]
On November 5, 2002, First Alliance Bank acquired EverBank[15] and on February 2, 2004, the company took the name EverBank and EverHome.[16]
In May 2007, EverBank agreed to acquire NetBank's direct banking and small business financing divisions and mortgage servicing portfolio.[17] On 17 September 2007, Everbank announced that it was terminating this agreement, claiming that NetBank had been unable to comply with provisions regarding certain cash levels due to the 2007 subprime mortgage financial crisis.[17]

In 2008, Florida Trend magazine described EverBank as being one of the nation's largest online banks.[18]
In 2009, a class action lawsuit was filed against EverBank in the Superior Court of California on behalf of purchasers of the bank's Icelandic Krona foreign currency denominated "CDs".[19] The lawsuit alleged that EverBank, against the instructions of its customers, closed the "CDs" at an unreasonable exchange rate, resulting in a loss of much of the "CD" purchasers' principal.[20] Judge Richard Seeborg in San Jose granted EverBank summary judgment on all of the lawsuit's claims, finding that EverBank had the discretion to close the CDs because it would have been on the hook for approximately $12 million in losses had the currency not recovered.[20] A federal appeals court remanded the case to district court in 2014 to determine if the bank breached the terms and conditions when it returned the value of the CDs to the class members.[19]
On May 28, 2010, EverBank announced that it had acquired all the deposits, substantially all of the assets, and certain liabilities of the Bank of Florida from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"), bringing its total assets to approximately $11.5 billion.[21]
In 2016, Everbank had a 4 out of 5 star rating from Bauer Financial.[22]

EverBank's products include high-interest checking, money market accounts and CDs, in addition to FDIC-Insured deposits denominated in foreign currency.[20][23] EverBank participates in the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (CDARS).[24] The institution refunds ATM fees paid by checking account holders.[24]
