In November 2000, Old Kent announced its pending merger with Fifth Third Bancorp. The combined company will have approximately $70 billion in assets, $48 billion in deposits and more than 980 banking locations, primarily in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Michigan and Illinois. Fifth Third will be the second-largest banking franchise, based on deposits, in the Midwest.
