Three Rivers Federal Credit Union (3Rivers) has signed a definitive agreement to acquire West End Bank through an all-cash transaction.

West End Bank, a subsidiary of West End Indiana Bancshares, operates four bank branches in Indiana. As of 31 March this year, it had $298.8m in assets and 24,000 customers.

West End Bancshares estimates that its stockholders will receive between $34.91 and $36.81 in cash for each share. However, the final value of the consideration is subject to several factors including future operating results.

3Rivers president and CEO Don Cates said: “This acquisition will allow us to expand our footprint to serve more people and communities in Indiana, and it will result in expanded product, service and technology offerings for West End Bank’s customers as well.

“We look forward to getting to know and investing in Wayne and Union Counties, as we begin the transition process.”

Following the deal, 3Rivers’ total assets will increase to nearly $1.4bn with more than 400 employees. Its branch network will comprise 20 offices and member strength will boost to 106,000.
