Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

Business combinations entered into by the Bancorp typically result in the recognition of goodwill. Acquisition activity includes acquisitions in the respective period in addition to purchase accounting adjustments related to previous acquisitions. On March 22, 2019, the Bancorp completed its acquisition of MB Financial, Inc. In connection with the acquisition, the Bancorp recorded $1.8 billion of goodwill in 2019. During the first quarter of 2020, the Bancorp finalized the valuations for the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interest recognized based on additional information available subsequent to the acquisition date. As a result, the Bancorp recognized additional goodwill of $9 million in connection with the acquisition of MB Financial, Inc. during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

The Bancorp completed its annual goodwill impairment test as of September 30, 2020 and the estimated fair values of the Commercial Banking, Branch Banking and Wealth and Asset Management reporting units exceeded their carrying values, including goodwill.
