Is First Citizens BancShares ($FCNCA) Quietly Engineering a Banking Empire No One Saw Coming?
Their Series of Acquisition and Mergers
FCNCA is not a small entity anymore and part of the reason they grew so much was through consolidation.
Here is a glimpse of that over these years:
- 2014: Merger with First Financial
- 2014: Merger with First Citizens Bancorporation
- 2015: Purchase from FDIC certain assets of Capitol City Bank & Trust (CCBT)
