CINCINNATI, Oh. (Nov. 1, 2017) – Fifth Third Bancorp today announced it has closed on the acquisition of Epic Insurance Solutions Agency LLC, and Integrity HR.
“Adding the Epic Insurance and Integrity HR teams to Fifth Third is a meaningful step in strengthening our insurance capabilities for clients,” said Mike Michael, executive vice president and head of Wealth and Asset Management for Fifth Third. “This acquisition enables us to also enter into the employee benefits and human resources consulting business, where we see an opportunity to grow and bring tremendous value to our Business, Commercial, and Wealth and Asset Management clients throughout our footprint.”
Don Thompson along with the other principals of Epic Insurance Solutions, Jason Rankin and John Neace will continue to lead the insurance organization and Amy Letke will lead the HR Consulting practice for the combined firms. The firm’s employees and offices will remain in Kentucky and Indiana.
