First Citizens Bancshares Inc /de/
A bank holding company whose roots trace to a small North Carolina bank founded in 1898 to serve local tobacco and cotton farmers. It grew into a nationwide lender by absorbing rivals, most famously buying Silicon Valley Bridge Bank out of the FDIC after that tech lender collapsed in 2023. The name comes from a 1921 merger with Citizens National Bank.
