Amerant Bank, a prominent commercial bank headquartered in Coral Gables, Florida, operated under the name Mercantil Bank prior to its comprehensive corporate rebrand. Having built a long-standing financial history serving domestic and international clients across South Florida and Texas, the institution decided to change its brand identity to establish a distinct corporate presence independent of its former international parent banking group. In October 2018, the institution officially transitioned to the Amerant name, accompanied by a complete marketing overhaul and ticker symbol adjustment. Since undertaking this strategic rebranding initiative, the bank has continued to expand its commercial lending, private banking, and retail financial services footprint across key metropolitan markets in the United States.
