With the closure of the deal, Japan’s MUFG has exited the US retail banking market and acquired a minority stake of around 3% in US Bancorp.
For US Bancorp, the deal, which was announced in September 2021, will bolster its presence on the West Coast of the US, and expand its branch network and customer base.
MUFG Union Bank’s Global Corporate & Investment Bank, some middle and back-office functions, and other assets are not part of the transition.
US Bancorp chairman, president and CEO Andy Cecere said: “The acquisition of MUFG Union Bank underscores U.S. Bank’s commitment to creating economic opportunities for our customers and communities across the West Coast.
