Wells Fargo and Citigroup are poised for major bank acquisitions under eased regulations but have yet to act.

Wells Fargo and Citigroup are the only U.S. megabanks with room under the 10% national deposit cap to acquire large regional banks, though neither has made a move yet. Wells Fargo's CEO is open to transformative deals, while Citigroup focuses on organic growth. Despite regulatory easing, North American bank merger values dropped over 50% in early 2026. Industry experts predict regional bank mergers will shrink their numbers and create new megabanks by 2030, signaling ongoing consolidation pressure.
