After a failed merger with OceanFirst Financial Corp. last year, Maryland’s Partners Bancorp has entered into a $167.8 million merger deal with Camp Hill, Pennsylvania-based startup Linkbancorp. The combined bank holding company will operate under the Linkbancorp (NASDAQ: LNKB) name, and the combined bank subsidiary will operate as Linkbank. The two subsidiaries of Partners, the Bank of Delmarva and Virginia Partners Bank, will operate as Linkbank and focus on Link’s regional business model.
