QNB Corp. and The Victory Bancorp, Inc. have obtained all necessary regulatory approvals required to proceed with their previously announced merger combination. The transaction, which was initially unveiled on September 23, 2025, has now satisfied regulatory requirements from relevant banking authorities, clearing a significant milestone toward completion.
The merger is anticipated to close during the second quarter of 2026, contingent upon the satisfaction of standard closing conditions typical to transactions of this nature. The regulatory clearance represents the final major approval threshold for the combined entity, following the initial announcement approximately six months prior.
Both institutions will now focus on integration planning and operational preparations ahead of the expected closing period. The completion of the merger will consolidate the banking operations and create a combined financial services platform, subject to no material adverse changes or other customary closing conditions being met.
