Meanwhile, Central Bancorp has been expanding its portfolio of financial service offerings in the Colorado Springs market.
Details of the sale were not disclosed. The sale is expected to close within the next 30 days.
Employees of the Colorado Springs office will continue in their roles under the new leadership.
