In 2008, Transatlantic Bank of Miami was acquired and integrated into the Banco Sabadell group.
According to the Chairman of Banco Sabadell, Jose Oliu, the acquisition of Transatlantic Bank is Banco Sabadell's first step in implementing our retail banking know-how in a market with an attractive potential, which offers favorable conditions for growth and value creation.
The acquisition of Transatlantic Bank will provide Banco Sabadell with an excellent operational platform and a solid commercial branch network. Florida is a perfect setting for the bank to extend its retail banking model as it is the fourth state of the Union with a GDP equivalent to 63% of the Spanish GDP and the third state with respect to its growth rate (7.7% in 2005).
