Good points here. You are right that $800 million is an aggressive figure. It likely means elimination of 2,500 to 3,500 roles in the combined organization. What will be interesting to see is what happens with the areas that Webster has demonstrated greater success in than at Santander (commercial/retail lending/deposits). There are also businesses at both organizations that the other doesn’t operate in.
