American Century Bank Holding Company and its partner, Patriot Financial, have jointly announced that both parties have agreed to terminate the previously signed affiliate agreement.

According to the latest filing submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, this termination decision will officially take effect on April 29, 2026. The termination of this agreement marks a significant adjustment in the partnership between the two financial institutions. Supplementary agreements are typically used to supplement or modify the terms of a master contract, and their termination often signifies a restructuring of the cooperation model. Although the filing did not specify the exact reasons for terminating the agreement, such business decisions are usually based on strategic adjustments or business development needs. Market observers noted that this change could lay the groundwork for a more flexible mode of cooperation between the two parties in the future.
