Ep. 127 - The knife fight for deposits could spur more bank deals | Street Talk

Deposits and liquidity remain at the forefront for most bankers and the intense competition for core funding will eventually lead to a resurgence in M&A activity. That was the message delivered by a variety of presenters at S&P Global Market Intelligence’s annual community bankers conference on May 20 and 21, but they acknowledged that transactions face some challenges in the near term, including lower valuations, fewer would-be buyers and regulatory pressures that tend to require more capital in deals. The episode features commentary from banking experts at Ampersand, Curinos, StoneCastle Partners, Performance Trust Capital Partners, Fenimore Kay Harrison, Stephens, Janney Montgomery Scott, Piper Sandler and Klaros Capital.
