Western Alliance completed the acquisition of AmeriHome for $1bn from Athene.

Western Alliance, a bank holding company, completed the acquisition of AmeriHome, a US residential mortgage acquirer and servicer, for $1bn. "Acquiring this differentiated, high-performing mortgage platform provides a powerful growth engine and expands mortgage offerings to existing clients that give us flexible levers to drive consistent returns throughout market cycles. AmeriHome’s effective business model and exceptional leadership team will leverage Western Alliance’s liquidity and capital strength, market reach, complementary businesses and commercial customers. This move meaningfully enhances our EPS baseline and growth, diversifies our revenue mix, and mitigates business cycle volatility with a firm that augments our commercial-focused portfolio," Ken Vecchione, Western Alliance President and CEO.
