How Bank Mergers Promote Competition
Feature story
Bank mergers help drive innovation and access to products and services for consumers. But proposed legislation could stifle deals at a time when new technologies and entrants are creating more competition than ever before.
Our Work
Antitrust laws ensure competition in free and open markets, which is the foundation of any vibrant, diverse, and dynamic economy. Healthy market competition benefits consumers through lower prices, higher quality products and services, more choices, and greater innovation. The Chamber advocates for antitrust laws that benefit all consumers and businesses and do not target specific companies or industries.
