What's Next?

The immediate response is that it is business as usual for both of us.

A lot will happen between now and the closing date, but there's nothing customers need to do right now.

When announcements like this are made, customers often worry that their accounts or services will be affected immediately. We want to assure you: that's not the case. Customers can expect the same excellent service they've always received.

Here's what customers should know:

• We're stronger together. Both of our banks have built successful, sustainable community banking models with deep local roots. By joining forces, we'll be able to serve our customers and communities even better—combining greater resources with the local knowledge and decision-making that make community banking special.
• We're still in the early stages. Many decisions that may affect customer accounts haven't been finalized yet. We're taking the time to get this right.
• Customer needs matter. We are evaluating all products and services to make sure they continue to meet the needs of our customers.
• We'll keep you informed. As we move through this process, we'll communicate any changes that impact you as soon as we have confirmed information.
