FMER Profile
FirstMerit Corporation (FMER), headquartered in Akron, Ohio, operated FirstMerit Bank, offering an extensive range of financial products and services, encompassing personal and commercial banking, investment services, and insurance. Established in 1845, FirstMerit underwent expansion through a succession of mergers and acquisitions, consolidating its position as a prominent bank holding company.
In 2016, FirstMerit underwent a significant transformation when it was acquired by Huntington Bancshares Incorporated (HBAN), another Ohio-based bank holding company, in a transaction valued at approximately $3.4 billion. This strategic merger resulted in the formation of a regional banking powerhouse with a broad footprint spanning the Midwest and Northeast regions of the United States.
Subsequenet to the acquisition, FirstMerit Bank underwent a rebranding initiative and now operates under the Huntington Bank name. Former FirstMerit branches, now operating under the Huntington banner, continue to serve customers across the Midwest and Northeast regions, maintaining a commitment to delivering comprehensive banking solutions and personalized financial services.
