    (Reuters) -Santander said on Wednesday it had agreed to sell seven branches in the Allentown, Pennsylvania area to U.S.-based Community Bank as the Spanish lender pivots towards becoming a digital-first bank in the United States.

    Santander launched Openbank in the U.S. market late last year with a high-yield savings account offering, and aims to have a full-service digital bank in the country by the end of 2025.

    In a separate statement, Community Bank said it will pay Santander a deposit premium of $48 million for assets and liabilities of the branches.

    The New York-based lender said it expects to assume about $600 million in deposits and purchase nearly $33 million in branch-related loans.

    The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025.
