The potential for a global trade war has largely undone the optimism that the industry exhibited at the beginning of the year. Here's a look at three ways that tariffs could negatively impact banks.

The Long Island-based regional bank, which reported another quarterly loss Friday, continues to hire in the commercial-and-industrial lending sphere as it seeks to diversify its commercial real estate-heavy business.

The Raleigh, North Carolina-based company, which has been acquisitive in recent years, is more than halfway through a $3.6 billion share-repurchase plan. Executives said it's the best way to return capital to shareholders, but mergers remain part of its long-term strategy.

The Dallas-based regional bank doesn't plan to halt in-progress investments, but it may adjust the pace of spending this year, depending on which way the economy goes. It also made downward revisions to its outlook for average loans, net interest income, fee income and expenses.

The super-regional bank cited "a material slowdown" in investment banking and trading income as one reason for the lower revenue forecast. Interest rates are also a factor, executives said.

One day after taking the helm as CEO, Gunjan Kedia was candid about the company's lagging stock price, telling analysts that she is "not happy" with it.

The chief executives at four of the nation's largest banks weighed in on what evolving trade policies mean for their businesses and the U.S. economy. "I think you have to be a little bit pessimistic here," said Bank of New York Mellon CEO Robin Vince.

Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Wells Fargo and Truist are facing pressure from ISS, Glass Lewis and SOC Investment Group over their 2024 pay packages.

From reduced demand for auto loans to a slowdown in mergers and acquisitions, here's some of the new trade war's potential fallout for lenders.

Fears of a recession intensified after President Trump unveiled his plan to impose a minimum 10% tariff on all U.S. imports, and the KBW Nasdaq Bank Index tumbled by nearly 10%.

The first year of Otting's tenure as the New York lender's CEO brought substantial change, but the job isn't done. His goal: to build a powerhouse, profitable regional bank.

Terry Dolan, vice chair and chief administration officer at the Minnesota bank, had been at the company for more than 25 years.

The bank now offers personal loans up to $50,000 to State Farm customers, the latest step in its effort to broaden its customer base by teaming up with other companies.

The largest U.S. banks are facing shareholder votes on a number of politically charged issues — some backed by conservative groups and others championed by organizations with a more progressive bent.

The number of shareholder proposals appearing in banks' proxy statements is down significantly this year, due to Trump-era regulatory changes and new concerns about political blowback.

Banks such as Texas Capital and Synovus say they're learning from anti-money-laundering failures elsewhere. They emphasize the importance of having enough compliance staffers — and ensuring they have the necessary skills.

The U.S. arm of Spanish banking giant Banco Santander is offering a high-yield savings account through its digital bank, Openbank, to eligible Verizon customers, a move that will introduce Santander to millions of potential new customers.
