From 1974 to 1983, the bank was run by chairman and chief executive officer Tom Storrs.
In 1957 American Trust Co. (founded 1901)[2][3] and Commercial National Bank (founded 1876) merged to form American Commercial Bank in Charlotte, North Carolina.
While American Commercial was the nominal survivor, the merged bank gave up American Commercial's state charter to operate under the Greensboro bank's national charter.
In 1991, while construction was underway, NCNB acquired C&S/Sovran Corp. of Atlanta and Norfolk and took the new name, NationsBank.
In 1998 NationsBank acquired BankAmerica Corp. and took the name Bank of America which now operates in all 50 states.
