Commercial banking

BNY's chief commercial officer talks about AI, tariffs and her efforts to help create a leaner, meaner bank.

The top five banks saw an average rise in their assets of almost 31% between 2023 and 2024.

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.

After the Washington bank's rocky integration with Umpqua, investors are wary of its plan to acquire Pacific Premier Bancorp in Southern California.

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.

Registration is now open for American Banker's annual Best Banks to Work For awards.

Tacoma, Washington-based Columbia Banking System said it will buy Pacific Premier Bancorp, accelerating its growth in Southern California by about a decade. The deal is Columbia's second major acquisition in three years.

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 investment and custody bank beat Wall Street estimates on net income but missed on revenue expectations. An increase in fee revenue offset stagnant net interest income. Management expects more of the same for the rest of the year.
