About National Bank of Arizona > History
History
National Bank of Arizona was founded in Tucson
in 1984. During its first 10 years of operation, the
bank experienced dramatic growth and opened
several offices in Tucson, Metropolitan Phoenix
and Flagstaff.
In 1994, the bank was acquired by Zions
Bancorporation, based in Salt Lake City, Utah,
and merged with Zions First National Bank of
Arizona and Rio Salado Bank in the Metro
Phoenix area. The following year the bank
merged with Southern Arizona Bank in Yuma. In
1997, National Bank of Arizona acquired 11
Wells Fargo branches in rural communities
throughout the state.
NBA's northern Arizona presence was further
solidified by the acquisition of Prescott-based
County Bank in 2000. Our growth continued into
the new millennium when we acquired the nine
Arizona offices of Pacific Century Bank during
the first quarter of 2001. In 2003, the offices of
Frontier State Bank were added to our team and
most recently, in January 2007, we acquired the
Stockmen's Bank.
Today, National Bank of Arizona has 75 offices
in 54 communities throughout Arizona. The bank
is recognized for its superior customer service and
commitment to servicing the needs of businesses
and individuals throughout Arizona.
