Credicorp ( (BAP) ) just unveiled an update.
On December 29, 2025, Credicorp, through its subsidiary Banco de Crédito del Perú, announced it had signed a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire 100% of Helm Bank USA, a Florida-based community bank supervised by the state’s Office of Financial Regulation and insured by the FDIC, for a purchase price of US$180 million, subject to customary closing adjustments. As of the end of September 2025, Helm Bank held a US$648.2 million loan portfolio, US$1.14 billion in total assets, and US$106.8 million in shareholders’ equity, and the deal—conditional on regulatory approvals in the United States from the OFR and Federal Reserve and in Peru from the SBS—positions Credicorp to strengthen its presence in the U.S. banking market and broaden its cross-border capabilities for clients, though the transaction’s completion timing will depend on satisfaction of these approvals and other standard closing conditions.
