UMB’s appetite for M&A will remain “measured” and executives are keeping an eye out for tuck-in deals, CEO Mariner Kemper emphasized Wednesday. However, bank executives believe UMB is “adept at evaluating and integrating acquisitions” to bolster growth, Kemper said. Cleveland-based KeyBank, another HoldCo target, has also said it’s not interested in bank acquisitions. UMB executives said Wednesday the HTLF integration has been a good exercise for future deals. For UMB, future M&A would be “small enough that we would maintain control of everything: culture, management, board,” as the lender did with HTLF, Kemper said.
