This infant bodysuit is a playful keepsake for families with a connection to the company or an interest in local history.

Alabama National BanCorporation was a Birmingham, Alabama-based bank holding company built through acquisitions and expansion across the Southeast. National Bank of Commerce of Birmingham began in 1965 as a family-owned community bank and became publicly traded in 1995. First American Bank of Decatur began in 1981; that year James A. Taylor also bought First National Bank of Ashland and later formed a holding company, serving as its chairman. By 1993, additional banks and a savings and loan had joined the growing organization. Alabama National acquired First American in 1997 and entered Florida that year, then expanded into Georgia in 1998. Its banking subsidiaries generally continued using their own names, while First American became a prominent operating name in much of Alabama. In 2004, a deal involving National Bank of Commerce expanded First American to $2.5 billion in assets and 33 locations; First Citizens Bank of Talladega joined it in 2005. By 2008, Alabama National had $7.9 billion in assets. RBC Bank completed its $1.6 billion purchase on February 26, 2008, adding branches in Alabama, Florida, and Georgia. On March 4, 2012, PNC Bank branches replaced RBC Bank branches after PNC acquired RBC's American assets.
