US bank branch deals decline, but premiums keep increasing

The number of U.S. bank branch deals keeps declining as pricing keeps increasing. In 2017, there were 42 branch deals announced in the U.S. banking sector, down from 56 in 2016 and 84 in 2015. However, the median deposit premium was 3.8% in 2017, up from 3.2% in 2016 and 2.6% in 2015.

In 2017, there were only five deals with two or more target branches and for which deposit premium data was available. People's Utah Bancorp paid the highest premium of the year at 8.5% for seven Banner Corp. branches in Utah.
