First Pennsylvania Bank
First Pennsylvania Bank was a bank based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Founded in 1782, it was for centuries the oldest bank in the United States until it was acquired by CoreStates Financial Corporation in 1989.[1]
In the 1970s, First Pennsylvania officials attempted to turn their firm, then a "sedate regional bank", into a major national concern.[2] Aggressive and risky lending and investments turned the bank into Philadelphia's largest, but in 1980, led to huge losses and panicked depositors. The federal government gave the bank a $500 million bailout,[1] the first major federal bailout of a national bank.[2]
