Dependability + Innovation

Same experiences, new names

Since we merged with CIT and acquired Silicon Valley Bank, we've been fully committed to preserving and building on the strong, industry-specialized, client-focused legacies created by these companies.

We are now aligned on a corporate brand strategy:

We'll continue to provide our commercial banking clients with the service, sector expertise, relationship-based experience and tailored solutions they value. That isn't changing.

"We are building on the legacy of Silicon Valley Bank and bringing greater scale and resources to make our platform even stronger. Investing in, and strengthening, this business remains a priority for First Citizens. We are committed to the innovation economy for the long term, and, as First Citizens Innovation Banking, we will continue to provide market leading solutions, services, and insights our clients rely on to succeed."
