RBC Bank

RBC Bank, formerly RBC Centura Bank, is the American subsidiary of the Royal Bank of Canada. RBC Bank is headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina and has banking offices in Alabama, District of Columbia, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. Royal Bank of Canada originally entered the United States with the purchase of Raliegh's Centura Bank, and re-named the institution RBC Centura. That name was shortened to RBC Bank in spring 2008.

RBC entered Alabama in 2007 with the purchase of branches divested from the AmSouth/Regions merger in Tuscaloosa, Huntsville and Mobile. To further its Alabama and Florida presence, it acquired Alabama National BanCorp, which operated in Birmingham as First American Bank. The deal was approved in January 2008, with operational conversion on June 20, 2008.
