The Waterfield Group is a financial services holding company that was founded in 1928 by Richard H. Waterfield.[1][2][3] J. Randall Waterfield, a former manager at Goldman Sachs and grandson of Richard H. Waterfield, serves as the Waterfield Group’s chairman.[4] As of 2000, the Waterfield Group was the largest privately held mortgage company in the US.[5]

The Waterfield Group sold its mortgage company, Waterfield Mortgage, in December 2006 to Sky Financial Group.[6] In 2010, the Office of Thrift Supervision closed Waterfield Bank, which was majority-owned by the Waterfield Group.[7]
