About

Chris is a Senior Vice President in our Naperville, IL branch. He has 15 years of service dedicated to helping clients meet their financial goals. During that time he has been an Underwriter, an Operations manager, and for the last 9 years a Mortgage Banker. His diverse experience in all aspects of real estate lending and excellent communication skills help facilitate a smooth closing process and build a long-term relationship with his partners and clients.

The Federal Savings Bank is one of the largest privately held mortgage banks in the country. As a veteran owned and operated, FDIC insured bank, the entire lending process is completed in-house. We originate, process, underwrite, and fund loans with our own reserves. This allows our originators the ability to offer their clients a wide array of home financing options while maintaining that local banking feel. Our goal is to provide 100% client satisfaction and to be your mortgage banker for life.

Chris was born and raised in the western suburbs of Chicago were he currently resides with his wife Kate and their daughter Isabella. When Chris isn’t working, he’s following his favorite sports teams and spending time at his family lake house in Wisconsin out on the water.

What clients say about working with us

Thanks to Chris Malizzio and team for a process well above expectations. Will anticipate working against with them when interest rates start dropping again next year!

I have worked with Chris several times now and he makes the process so easy for me and my wife, Molly to complete this paperwork and leverage the various benefits of a VA Loan that has saved us several thousand dollars over the years we have been working with him. I will continue to look forward to working with Chris in the future. I appreciate that Chris periodically checks in with us and is always looking for ways help us maximize our financial options for the long term.

Not only is Christopher knowledgeable but he’s personable as well. He gave us some welcome do’s and dont’s. This young man is an asset to your bank. He knows how to seal the deal without being pushy or staid. Thank you for allowing Christopher to work with us time and time again. Please extend our thanks and best wishes to him. You’ve got a good one there!

Chris is no nonsense, gets things done and doesn’t waste my time. Very professional and easy to work with.

Fantastic experience! Two previous attempts by other mortgage brokers fell short with regards to poor communication or the inability to meet our needs. Chris M. at The Federal Savings Bank matched us to a great product and was able to use conveniences such as electronic documentation and signing to make the whole process go very smooth. Answered all our questions promptly and expertly. Look forward to working with him again in the future.
