First National Bank (Philadelphia)

First National Bank was a bank in Philadelphia. Chartered in 1863, it was the first national bank created under the banking reforms of the Civil War that began to define the modern U.S. banking system, and the first commercial bank to issue a federal banknote. It operated independently until 1955, when it was merged into the Bank of North America and Trust Company, which now is part of Wells Fargo.

Not to be confused with First Bank of the United States, First Pennsylvania Bank, or Philadelphia National Bank.
