The coronavirus pandemic has accelerated Bryn Mawr Trust’s plans to shift a significant number of its employees to permanent remote work.

Bryn Mawr Trust logoBryn Mawr Bank Corp. will acquire Narberth-based Royal Bancshares of Pennsylvania for $127.7 million, writes Jeff Blumenthal of the Philadelphia Business Journal.

Bryn Mawr Bank previously boasted $3.2 billion in assets, but with Royal’s $832 million, it will soon exceed the $4 billion mark.

Kevin Tylus, Royal’s president and CEO, will join Bryn Mawr Bank’s senior management team, according to Bryn Mawr CEO Frank Leto, “in order to continue to expand these relationships and to help ensure a smooth integration of the two institutions.”

According to the article, “Bryn Mawr Bank has been one of the region’s top-performing local banks, aided by the buffer of $11 billion in assets under management from its trusts division.”
