Fifth Third grows mortgage lending to $5.2B, plans Southern expansion

Fifth Third Bank says it has originated more than $5.2 billion in mortgages so far in 2025, ranking among the top 45 U.S. lenders and top 15 banks.

The Cincinnati-based bank, already a top 10 mortgage servicer, said it has grown market share in 90% of its key markets this year as it continues to expand its mortgage operations.

This week, Fifth Third announced that it’s acquiring Comerica in an all-stock transaction valued at $10.9 billion. The transaction is expected to close by the end of first-quarter 2026.

The deal will create the ninth-largest U.S. bank with $288 billion in details ⇒
