When two banks announced their merger to create a brand-new entity, this catapulted two regional banks to become one of the top 10 national banks.
This was the first national level merger in US banking following the 2008 financial crisis. Furthermore, the integration was complex, quite unlike previous mergers, as the client decided to the take the best from both banks across business, technology, and operations. Technology had to mitigate the complexities of hybrid information flows during the transition period.
An accelerated and seamless digital transformation was the key to ensuring success of the merger-of-equals business goals.
