Buckle up - coming up by the end of the year, depending on how fast shareholders and regulatory approvals happen. Might wanna read this press release carefully. Wherever words like synergy, combining products or scaling appear, that's where they're gonna trim the fat. Don't wanna frighten anyone, but they might be making some cuts long before the actual merger occurs (this part is just my $0.02, I've seen it done before in other bank mergers).
