Creating the ninth-largest U.S. bank, with approximately $294 billion in assets, Fifth Third has announced it has closed its merger with Comerica.
Fifth Third Regional Chairman David Girodat says Comerica locations will continue operating under the Comerica brand until late summer, early fall. Meanwhile, the new name is still undecided.
“That is a TBD,” Girodat said. “So we’re going to assess and we’re going to come up with the right name that fits in the city, that represents our brand. And it’s something we probably can’t really do until early in ‘27. Hopefully, the Tigers are playing baseball in the late October, so that’ll slow down anything we got to do. But future name, I think it’s going to look different, but I think it’s going to be something everyone’s proud of.”
Girodat says when all is said and done, there will be 225 locations across Michigan.
