Associated Banc-Corp Completes Merger with American National

Associated Banc-Corp has completed its merger with American National Corporation, including American National’s bank subsidiary, American National Bank. The combined partnership is designed to enhance Associated’s organic growth by combining Associated’s value proposition and commercial offering with American National’s client-centric approach and footprint.

Associated expects American National systems, branch locations, and customers to convert to Associated in the third quarter of 2026. American National customers will continue to be serviced through existing branches, which will be rebranded as Associated Bank branches after conversion. Wende Kotouc was appointed to the Associated Banc-Corp board of directors effective April 1, 2026.

The release frames the deal as building on Associated’s 2025 momentum, including relationship loan and deposit growth, record customer growth, and strong credit performance.
