There is no end in sight to merger and acquisition activity in the financial services industry. The consolidation from prior years has been amplified by the events of 2020. A global economic slowdown, nationwide shutdowns, rampant unemployment and a seemingly unstoppable pandemic have made joining forces with former competitors one of the fastest paths for growth.
