Scotiabank Agrees to Buy MapleMark Bank as $1.5 Trillion Lender Expands U.S. Deposit Base

Scotiabank signed a definitive agreement to acquire Maple Financial Holdings, the parent of Dallas-based MapleMark Bank, in a move aimed at deepening its North American banking footprint.
FDIC-insured deposits are central to the deal, which Scotiabank said will support its mortgage capital markets business and broader deposit growth strategy.
Dallas is MapleMark Bank’s primary operating market, giving Scotiabank a U.S. commercial banking platform tied to its focus on the North American corridor.
Regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions are still required, and Scotiabank said the transaction is not expected to materially affect earnings or its CET1 capital ratio.
With about $1.5 trillion in assets as of April 30, 2026, Scotiabank is using the acquisition to strengthen U.S. capabilities rather than make a balance-sheet-transforming purchase.
