Spain’s second-largest bank by assets BBVA has
completed the integration of US subsidiary Guaranty into its own US
network, and rebranded under the BBVA Compass moniker the 105 Texan
and 59 Californian branches acquired as part of the deal last
year.
In snapping up Guaranty, BBVA signed a
purchase agreement with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(FDIC), in terms of which BBVA acquired $12 billion of assets,
assumed $11.5 billion of deposits and entered into a loss-sharing
agreement with the FDIC covering all of the acquired loans.
