On March 11, 2014, the boards of directors of Chemical Financial Corporation (Nasdaq: CHFC), the holding company for Chemical Bank, and Northwestern Bancorp, Inc., the holding company for Northwestern Bank, announced the execution of a definitive agreement for Chemical Financial Corporation ("Chemical") to partner with Northwestern Bancorp, Inc. (“Northwestern"). The acquisition was expected to complete sometime in the third quarter.

History
Chemical State Savings Bank was founded in 1917.
The headquarters of Chemical Bank was the site of Tony Chebatoris' infamous bank robbery in 1937, which ultimately ended in Chebatoris being the only man receiving the death penalty in the state of Michigan.[8]
Chemical Bank and Trust Company changed its name to Chemical Bank in 1973 to reflect that their trust activities were only one part of the total business.
Dollar The Squirrel
In 2008, Chemical Bank adopted Dollar The Squirrel as their company mascot. Dollar appears at company funded events around the state as well as in Chemical Bank's story book which they use to educate elementary-aged children on the importance of saving.
