The data in this study were obtained from the Komisi Pengawas Persaingan Usaha (KPPU) and the annual reports of each bank. The methodology used is descriptive statistics and student t test. The results showed that: (i) capital, profitability performance, credit quality and cost efficiency of foreign acquisition target banks were better than domestic acquisition target banks; (ii) however, the liquidity of domestic target banks is better than foreign acquisition target banks.
