Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) has acquired the American Financial Exchange (AFX), an electronic exchange for direct lending and borrowing for American banks and financial institutions.
The acquisition is not expected to have a material impact on ICE’s 2025 financial results or on ICE’s deleveraging or capital return plans.
AFX's focus on regional, midsize, community, and minority-owned banks complements ICE's mortgage technology network.
AFX operates the credit-sensitive American Interbank Offered Rate (AMERIBOR®), produced through a network of over 1,000 American banks and financial institutions.
