Interchange Financial Services Corporation (the "Registrant") common stock, no
par value (the "Common Stock") from being registered under Section 12(b) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") to a
registration under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act in connection with the
listing of the Common Stock on the NASDAQ Stock Market's National Market System
("NASDAQ"). The Common Stock is currently registered under Section 12(b) of the
