Item 1.  Security and Issuer.

Name of Issuer and Address of Principal Executive Offices:

                  Bank Mutual Corporation ("BKMU")
                  4949 West Brown Deer Road
                  Milwaukee WI 53223

Security to Which This Statement Relates:

                  Common Stock, $.01 Par Value ("BKMU Common")

Item 2.  Identity and Background.

(a)-(c). This Schedule is filed on behalf of Mutual Savings Bancorp, MHC, a U.S.
chartered mutual holding company (the "MHC"). The MHC's principal business is to
hold the majority of BKMU's shares of common stock. The business address of the
MHC is 4949 West Brown Deer Road, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53223.

Pursuant to General Instruction C of Schedule 13D, the following information is
being provided with respect to each executive officer and director of the MHC
("Insiders"). See Exhibit A hereto.

(d) and (e). During the last five years, none of the MHC or the Insiders has (i)
been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar
misdemeanors) or (ii) been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding
was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future
violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or
state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

(f). All of the Insiders are U.S. citizens.

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

BKMU was formed for the purpose of becoming the stock holding company of Mutual
Savings Bank (the "Bank"). Pursuant to a Plan of Restructuring approved by Bank
depositors and the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS"), the Bank became a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the MHC. Upon completion of the transactions
contemplated by the Plan, the Bank became a wholly-owned subsidiary of BKMU,
which became a majority-owned subsidiary of the MHC.

Information with respect to conversion of BKMU Common by the Insiders has been
filed with the SEC pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.

Item 4.  Purpose of the Transaction.

         The shares of Bank Mutual Common were acquired by the MHC in connection
with the regulatory reorganization of the Bank. In the restructuring, the
depositors of the Bank have become the members of the MHC, the MHC has become
the majority shareholder of Bank Mutual, and Bank Mutual has become the sole
shareholder of the Bank. In addition, in a separate but related merger
transaction, Bank Mutual has become sole shareholder of First Northern Savings
Bank.  The restructuring was pursued, among other reasons, to permit the Bank
to reorganize into mutual holding company form, to permit the bank to raise
additional capital and to permit the bank to pursue the acquisition of First
Northern.

<PAGE>   4

         Other than the foregoing, the MHC has no plans or proposals which would
result in the acquisition or disposition of BKMU Common Stock or any other
action which is enumerated in Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a) and (b). As of November 1, 2000, BKMU had outstanding 22,341,665 shares of
BKMU Common. As of such date, the MHC had sold voting and dispositive power with
respect to 11,193,174 shares of BKMU Common. Shares of BKMU Common currently
outstanding which are held by the MHC represent 50.1% of the currently
outstanding shares of BKMU Common.

(c). The MHC received its shares of BKMU Common in the restructuring transaction
contemplated by the Plan on November 1, 2000. Insiders will report their
purchases of BKMU Common in the transactions pursuant to the Plan or shares
acquired in the First Northern merger under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.

(d). None.

(e). Not Applicable.

Item 6.  Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect
         to Securities of the Issuer.

      None

Item 7.  Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

      None
