This tie up has been touted for some time however it makes total sense in MM’s view, both banks are capped ~$6bn and are in need of major IT upgrades, both in terms of delivering on customer expectations on the technology side plus of course meeting growing regulatory demands. If a deal was to be done, we would expect both BOQ and BEN shareholders would benefit.
