In this paper I am trying to analyze the concepts of bank merging and acquisitions, the causes that led to their appearance, their effects on the banking system and their future perspective in the field of banking market. The main reason for choosing this topic is based on the fact that in the evolution of banking concentration, bank merging and acquisitions have a special role, they are necessary withdrawal operations of banking life, through the absorption of banks without viability by those that have a viable capital, economical and managing potential. It is well known the fact that large, very powerful and well established banks, created after processes of merging and acquisitions, have a different potential in maintaining the profit flow and balanced growth of profit, having a great impact over the economy. The contribution is based on combining some conceptual elements with some empirical aspects, bank merging and acquisitions represent a worldwide present-day process, having a great impact also on the Romanian banking market, on banking financial institutions, which, in order to face competition, have oriented their strategies for diversifying risks, for offering services to global customers, by means of bank merging and acquisitions. A developed economical market exists if it also has strong, consolidated banks, which have the ability to compete with the world's most powerful banks.
