Expect a lot of changes, not just the name. During my career, I was involved with mergers. One reason for them is consolidation of duplicated operations for expense reduction. Put another way, some people will lose their jobs. Seacoast's PR piece doesn't address this issue. On the upside, maybe Seacoast will update Citizen's electronic banking capabilities.
