The CEO of US Bancorp, Richard K. Davis said: “Our results for

environment.”

extended our branch banking franchise into New Mexico, our 25th
contiguous state, and immediately established us as one of the top
three banks in terms of market share in this new attractive
market.
“The purchase of FCB fits perfectly into our strategy of
acquiring businesses and smaller fill-in banking franchises that
add product and service capabilities, as well as profitable scale
to our existing business lines and footprint in comparatively
low-risk transactions,” he said.
