Stephen M. Calk was arrested Thursday in New York City on a financial institution bribery charge.
He is scheduled to appear in Manhattan federal court in the afternoon.
A message seeking comment was left with his attorney.
Authorities said Calk committed the crime while serving as CEO of The Federal Savings Bank in Chicago.
Federal prosecutors described the charge in a release, saying Calk abused his bank position by approving millions of dollars in high risk loans that were ultimately downgraded.
Prosecutors say Calk wanted to be appointed Secretary of the Army or some other high level post.
