Keep a reminder of Cleveland's banking story close at hand with this National City Double-Sided Keychain Charm. The institution started as City Bank of Cleveland in 1845, took the National City Bank of Cleveland name in 1865, and grew through acquisitions into a major regional company. The National City name was retired in 2010 after its transition to PNC, giving this keepsake a strong connection to a changing era in American finance. A fitting collectible for former customers, Cleveland history fans, and bank-brand enthusiasts.
National City began as the City Bank of Cleveland, organized on May 17, 1845, by Cleveland businessmen Reuben Sheldon and Theodoric C. Severance. In 1865 it became National City Bank of Cleveland, and in April 1973 National City Corporation was formed as its holding company, enabling expansion beyond Cuyahoga County. The company grew through acquisitions across Ohio and into Kentucky, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Missouri, Florida, Illinois, and Wisconsin. Major transactions included Integra Financial Corporation in 1996, First of America in 1998, and Provident Financial Group in 2004. The corporation offered commercial and retail banking, mortgage services, consumer finance, and asset management; its subsidiary National City Mortgage was credited with making the first mortgage in America. In 2007 it ranked 188th on the Fortune 500 and reported about $140 billion in assets. PNC announced its purchase on October 24, 2008, and completed the acquisition on December 31. The National City name was retired on June 14, 2010, as banking operations transitioned to PNC.
