what is 1000banks

---

A listing platform for targets and buyers in banking mergers and acquisitions, 1000BANKS allows regional and community banks (targets) to be acquired with zero expense on underwriting, retainer, monthly, breakup or success fees.

Replaces a long, cumbersome M&A process with an efficiency and speed of a trading platform, where targets are non-openly listed and instantly matched with qualified (not excluded by targets) buyers. Buyers interests are listed by geography, specialty and requirements in numerical values.

A standardized process minimizes M&A hardships and costs, including mismanagement, for both buyers and targets, and allows an immediate secure access to a core valuation and due diligence outcome for multiple qualified buyers without harming an asset by disseminating its’ information.  

A price is listed before the buyer emerges and therefore is based on the merits of an asset and not of the buyer. 1000BANKS marks the listed price as "Fair," "Express" (priced for faster sale) or "Non-Marked" (over the fair value, in the platform's experts' estimation).

The platform is designed to provide confidentiality of both the buyer and the target and is double-blinded through the initial stages of consideration. 

Because due diligence information of the target is the whole value of the platform, such information is a priori more secure than it might be within a buyer’s organization. 1000BANKS minimizes mismanagement of sensitive information and keeps it remote from potential harmful intrusion.
