Bank M&A Quarterly | Q3 2022 Edition

Greetings,

Welcome to the inaugural edition of the Bank M&A Quarterly eNewsletter from Bank Merger Marketing. We hope that the content provided each quarter will be both informative on the how’s and why’s behind industry consolidation activities as well as a quick way to obtain some helpful best practice insights from acquirers that have differentiated themselves through execution.

We all know 2022 has been an “interesting” year for consolidation in our industry. While we entered the year with some sizable and potentially game-changing movers making announcements (see announced deals from our industry colleagues in Canada), what has transpired from a regulatory, political, and economic perspective certainly wasn’t prominent in any of the forecasts I followed back in Q1. I now sense that ‘hurry up and wait’ may have been a wise position to take. Still, it seems as though some smaller and moderately sized deals continue to see their way through – mostly lower risk and strategic market expansion in nature – while the larger deals navigate their way through the ever evolving approval process. As we continue to follow just how the flow of the activity funnel will modulate, here’s to more predictable and strategically relevant activity ahead. Thanks for scrolling!

Cheers,
