Mergers continue to be a viable opportunity to retain relevance and sustainability for credit unions.  Bank acquisitions have become another avenue for growth.  As the industry continues to consolidate producing an ever more competitive landscape, this trend is expected to continue. In this session we will discuss similarities and differences between credit union mergers and credit unions buying a bank. We will also review credit union merger trends and rationale, the differences and similarities in the process for credit union mergers and bank acquisitions, as well as the pros and cons both qualitatively and quantitatively to credit union mergers and credit union bank acquisitions.

Learning Objectives:

• Recognize past consolidation trends and future opportunities
• Gain a better understanding of the merger process from start to finish
• Identify the pros and cons of each type of opportunity
