퍼스트 뱅크 시스템은 1864년부터 1997년까지 운영되었던 미네소타 주 미니애폴리스에 본사를 둔 지역 은행 지주 회사였다.한때 퍼스트 뱅크였던 것이 오늘날의 미국 뱅코프의 핵심을 이루고 있으며, 퍼스트 뱅크는 1997년에 옛 미국 뱅코프와 합병하여 미국의 뱅코프라는 이름을 갖게 되었다.

역사

구 퍼스트 뱅크 플레이스

퍼스트뱅크의 초기 직계존속인 미니애폴리스 제1국민은행은 1864년 설립돼 1865년 헌장을 받았다.그 은행은 차례로 개인 은행인 시델, 울포드, 코에서 성장했다.[1][2]

1929년 8월 23일, 미니애폴리스의 퍼스트 내셔널은 세인트 폴의 퍼스트 내셔널 은행(Parker, Paine, Co.)과 합병하여 퍼스트 뱅크 스톡 코퍼레이션(First Bank Stock Corporation)을 결성하였다.두 은행은 미네소타, 노스다코타, 몬타나에 있는 32개 은행의 주식을 공동으로 취득했다.[3][4][5]

1956년 2월, 퍼스트 뱅크 주식회사는 미네소타에 있는 6개 은행과 위스콘신 주 라 크로스에 있는 1개 은행에 대한 인수 보류 계획을 발표했다.[6][7]이 거래는 위스콘신주에 첫 진입을 기념하고, 몇 달 후 1956년 은행지주회사법의 통과로 미네소타 외곽에서 마지막 인수를 기록하게 되므로 이 법 조항이 점차 없어질 때까지 새로운 주간 인수를 금지하게 된다.1950년대 중반에 kened가 되었고, 그 후 10년을 없앴다.

1968년 4월, 제1은행 주식회사는 제1은행시스템 주식회사로 이름을 바꾸었다.[8]

1992년, 이 회사는 퍼스트 뱅크 플레이스라고 불리는 53층짜리 새로운 본사 건물로 입주했다.[9]완공 당시 이 건물은 미니애폴리스에서 가장 높은 건물 중 하나였다.

First Bank System, Inc., has gained a foothold in Washington state that advances its strategy of expanding across state lines to the south and west. By acquiring a small, failing bank in Omak, Wash. (1980 population 4,007), First Bank System gains the right to buy and charter banks in the state, according to DeWalt Ankeny Jr., chairman of the Minneapolis bank holding company. First Bank System already owns banks in Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota and Montana... First Bank System took over Mid Valley Bank and set up a newly chartered bank named First Bank Washington. The company's offer to insert $6.2 million in capital bested any offer from banks within the state. Washington law allows failing banks to be acquired by out-of-state buyers if their offers are superior to those made by banking companies within the state.

First Bank Washington is a newly chartered state bank owned by First Bank System Inc. of Minneapolis, Oldfield said. The state banking supervisor took possession of Mid Valley Bank Friday after determining the bank was insolvent following years of high loan losses... First Bank System agreed to maintain adequate capital levels in the new bank, Oldfield said, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. facilitated the transaction by purchasing loans with a book value of $3.5 million. As part of the agreement, First Bank Washington will continue operations of Mid Valley's four offices in Okanogan Valley.

First Bank has an agreement to sell its four-office First Bank Washington, headquartered in Omak, to a group of local investors for $4 million. The investors have formed a holding company, Sentinel Bancorporation... First Bank bought the insolvent Mid Valley Bank of Omak after it had been taken over by state regulators in 1986. At the time, the only way for an out-of-state bank to move into the Washington market was to buy a financially ailing institution. That was the result of legislation which allowed BankAmerica to acquire the then-reeling Seafirst.
