Dubuque-based Heartland Financial USA announced that it had completed a pair of large-scale acquisitions that expanded the company’s existing presence in Arizona and Texas.

Heartland acquired four Arizona banking centers from Johnson Bank, completing a deal that had initially been announced in June. Johnson’s Arizona branches had gross loans of approximately $150 million and deposits of about $400 million.

These four banking locations will now operate under the brand of Arizona Bank & Trust, a wholly owned subsidiary of Heartland.

Heartland also completed its previously announced acquisition of Texas-based AimBank, which boasts approximately $1.85 billion in total assets. AimBank merged with and into FirstBank & Trust, a Heartland subsidiary based in Lubbock, Texas.

The pair of acquisitions bring Heartland’s total assets to nearly $18 billion. The company now has more than 140 full-service banking locations operating in 12 states.
