Larry Spaccasi, Tom Hutton and Jeff Cardone presented at the CU Leadership Convention in Las Vegas on August 1, 2019. The presentation, titled “So You Think You Want to Acquire a Bank?” focused on how the acquisition of banks by credit unions has become more common. The presentation also analyzed the factors that drive credit union/bank transactions, including how a bank acquisition is structured, the regulatory approval process and key considerations when assessing whether an acquisition of a bank should be a part of the credit union’s strategic plan.
