Employed econometric models the analysis shows as the findings differ according to banks’ business models—Retail, Investment, and Diversified Assets—and the FinTech category involved in the M&A operation. Findings reveal that while FinTech M&As enhance profitability and ESG performance, they may increase short-term inefficiencies and risk.
