First Horizon CEO Bryan Jordan explains why he thinks policymakers will change the $50 billion asset cutoff and justify the regional bank's big acquisition.

Richard Moore, CEO of First Bancorp in North Carolina, believes he can unlock more shareholder value through acquisitions and by taking advantage of disruption elsewhere.

First Bancorp has emerged as one of the few consolidators in North Carolina at a time when many other banks in the state have opted to sell.

The acquisition will provide South State with more than $3 billion in assets and a larger operation in North Carolina.

The deal is the latest coastal acquisition for United Community. For HCSB, the sale is the final chapter in a turnaround that began 13 months earlier.
