Financial Institutions

The Financial Institutions Group of Mercer Capital provides a broad range of specialized advisory services to the financial services industry.  Though maintaining a particular emphasis among commercial banks and savings & loan institutions, the Financial Institutions Group also serves insurance companies (agencies, brokers, and underwriters), specialized finance companies, mortgage bankers, asset managers, broker/dealers, and merchant processors.

Since its founding in 1982, Mercer Capital has provided services to hundreds of banks and thrifts.  Our banking clients range from:
  • New bank charters to multi-billion dollar asset holding companies
  • Banks located in large metropolitan areas to small communities dispersed throughout the United States
  • Troubled institutions to banks with industry leading profitability
  • Banks following a traditional community banking philosophy to specialized, niche-focused institutions
  • Banks actively traded in the public markets to those controlled by a single family
  • Banks with simple ownership structures to esoteric, multi-class structures
The bedrock of Mercer Capital’s advisory services is its deep industry expertise.  Several of Mercer Capital’s senior employees worked in the financial services industry prior to joining the firm.  In fact, Z. Christopher Mercer literally wrote the book on the subject, Valuing Financial Institutions, which is currently the only comprehensive material on the subject.  Additionally, Mercer Capital has a number of employees who dedicate their time almost exclusively to the financial services industry.
