A merger occurs when two or more companies combine to form one, where the buying firm absorbs all the asset and liabilities of the selling firms. This paper discusses the necessity for bank mergers in order to cope with the changing industry. It examines the six main reasons why companies merge and the different types of merger that exist. It uses as an example, the successful merger between Nations Bank and Bank of America.
From the Paper:
"Larger mergers may create larger assets for the company, but bankers are still left in the dark with what to do with those assets. These days, auto dealer are more likely to handle auto loans, credit cards are received through the mail, and mortgage brokers can provide great deals on mortgages. Not to mention the invention of online banking. Now there are online services that will search the Internet to get the best prices on a CDs, credit cards, consumer loans and mortgages. Banks are starting to find that they are now not only in competition with other banks, but with software companies as well."
