First Horizon Bank
First Horizon Corporation, formerly First Tennessee Bank, is a financial services company, founded in 1864, and based in Memphis, Tennessee. Through its banking subsidiary First Horizon Bank, it provides financial services through locations in 12 states across the Southeast, a region in which it is the fourth largest regional bank.
In November 2019, First Horizon Corporation and IberiaBank Corporation agreed to merge, closing in July 2020. The combined bank is based in Memphis, Tennessee, and uses the First Horizon name.
The bank gained national attention during the 2023 banking crisis, in which multiple regional banks across the United States as well as the Swiss institution Credit Suisse all collapsed and were bought out. First Horizon's stock price began to plummet in the wake of both a merger with Toronto-Dominion Bank being called off and the collapse of First Republic Bank in San Francisco.
Frank S. Davis founded First National Bank, the first nationally chartered bank in Memphis, after passage of the National Banking Act of 1863. Though the city was under martial law after being captured by Union forces in the Civil War, First National Bank of Memphis was officially chartered for business on March 25, 1864, during the American Civil War.
The bank acquired German Bank in 1895. First National was one of five banks in the twelve districts to help implement the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, and in 1914, the bank participated in the organization of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. The bank merged with Central-State National Bank in 1926. The merged bank retained First National's name and charter, but was led by Central-State's management team.
In 1942, the bank opened its first suburban branch and by 1952, First National had seven offices. In 1961, a 25-story tower was announced. As of 1967, First National was the largest bank in the Mid-South. A holding company, First National Holding Corporation, was created in 1969. Two years later, because leadership intended to acquire other banks, this became First Tennessee National Corporation. The corporation acquired five banks in 1972 and changed their names to First Tennessee Bank. (Allen B. Morgan had been named president in 1960, chief executive in 1967, and chairman in 1969, retiring in 1973.) In 1977, First National also became First Tennessee Bank.
During the 1980s, the company expanded into mortgage brokerage, mortgage loan origination, and insurance. In 1981 First Express became the first national check-clearing service, and First Tennessee offered brokerage services starting the next year.
In 1993, the bank acquired MNC Mortgage.
