Dependability + Innovation

The Best of Bank Worlds

Same experiences, new names

Since we merged with CIT and acquired Silicon Valley Bank, we have been fully committed to preserving and building on the strong, industry-specialized, client-focused legacies created by these companies. In Q4 2026, we will align on a corporate brand strategy:

• Silicon Valley Bank will rebrand to First Citizens Innovation Banking

SVB Global Fund Banking will rebrand to First Citizens Fund Banking

CIT Commercial Services will rebrand to First Citizens Bank

SVB Wine Division will rebrand to First Citizens Bank

We will continue to provide our commercial banking clients with the service, sector expertise, relationship-based experience and tailored solutions they value. That is not changing.
