Welcome to Fifth Third

The acquisition is a strategic acceleration of Fifth Third’s long-term growth plan, enhancing scale, profitability and geographic reach.

By 2030, it is anticipated that over half of Fifth Third’s branches will be located in the Southeast, Texas, Arizona and California.

Fifth Third has officially closed our merger with Comerica. Comerica is now part of Fifth Third, bringing together two long-tenured, highly compatible franchises with complementary strengths to create the 9^th largest U.S. bank with $300 billion in assets and a presence in 17 of the 20 fastest-growing large markets nationwide.

Fifth Third is one of the few U.S.-based banks to have been named among Ethisphere's World’s Most Ethical Companies^® for several years. With a commitment to taking care of our customers, employees, communities and shareholders, our goal is not only to be the nation’s highest performing regional bank, but to be the bank people most value and trust.

Bringing together Comerica’s deep relationships serving diverse industries and Fifth Third’s leading payments products and broad capital markets capabilities creates a middle market banking powerhouse.

The combined company has two $1 billion recurring, high ROE fee businesses Wealth & Asset Management and Commercial Payments providing durable, diversified earnings and additional capacity to reinvest in future growth.

Together, we are creating a stronger, more diversified bank that is well positioned to deliver long-term value for our shareholders, customers and communities.

Our teams are working closely to facilitate a smooth transition for employees and customers. Full system and brand conversions are expected later this year.

The standard FDIC insurance coverage amount is $250,000 per depositor, per insured bank. While Fifth Third and Comerica are now legally one bank, your deposits at each bank remain separately insured for at least six months from February 1, 2026, the date of closing. This transition period gives you time to make any changes needed to keep your FDIC coverage at the level you want.

CDs that mature on or before August 1, 2026, will no longer be separately insured after maturity. CDs with a maturity date after August 1, 2026, will continue to be insured separately until maturity.

Fifth Third intends to expand our innovative place-based economic development strategy to key markets in our new, expanded footprint. Our Neighborhood Program is a people-first, community-led approach designed to catalyze economic mobility in historically disinvested neighborhoods.

The strategy is built on a collective ecosystem model, where Fifth Third partners with local organizations to deploy intellectual, social, and financial capital. This model has received national recognition.

Our Neighborhood Program began after a successful pilot in Detroit’s Gratiot & Seven Mile (G7) neighborhood. We plan to officially welcome Detroit into our Neighborhood Program this year, with an initial investment of $20 million over three years to help advance economic mobility and financial inclusion. We’re thrilled to apply what we’ve learned to help G7 residents and businesses achieve similar outcomes and impact.
