New Canaan lender Bankwell Financial Group Inc. says regulators have approved its merger with Hamden’s Quinnipiac Bank and Trust.
Bankwell said Wednesday all that remains to complete the deal is approval from Quinnipiac stockholders when they meet Sept. 24.
If shareholders sign off, the deal will likely close on or around Oct. 1, Bankwell Chairman Blake S. Drexler said.
The combination would push Bankwell’s assets to around $880 million.
