UMB Financial Corporation announced on January 10, 2025, that it has received the necessary regulatory approvals from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. These approvals are for the previously announced acquisition of Heartland Financial USA, Inc. This marks a significant milestone following shareholder approvals from both companies.
The receipt of these regulatory clearances is a crucial step towards completing the acquisition, which is expected to close by January 31, 2025. The transaction is anticipated to boost UMB's assets by approximately 40%, expanding its branch footprint and entering five new states. This strategic move is set to create a larger regional banking presence.
The acquisition of Heartland Financial is a transformative event for UMBF, aiming to significantly expand its geographic reach and enhance its financial capabilities. The successful navigation of the regulatory process underscores the viability and strategic importance of this merger for the company's future growth.
