Stronger. Better. Together.

CIT Group is now a division of First Citizens Bank

First Citizens BancShares Inc. and CIT Group Inc. recently merged, creating a top 20 US financial institution with more than $100 billion in assets. As the largest family-controlled bank in the nation, we're continuing a unique legacy of strength, stability and long-term thinking that has spanned generations.

Now that CIT is a division of First Citizens, we're not just getting bigger. We're creating a better bank—a one-stop financial destination providing a full suite of personal, business, commercial, and wealth products and services. We're also creating a stronger bank, with greater capacity and ability to offer more convenience and value.
