Sovereign Bank proudly unveiled its new signage at 3030 NW Expressway in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, after changing its name from First National Bank & Trust Co. in April 2023. This strategic move reaffirms its rich heritage as the largest tribally-owned financial institution in America.
“This new name not only honors the bank’s origins but also underscores its enduring commitment to empowering all communities and upholding the principles of sovereignty and self-determination,” said Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Alicia Wade.
The rebranding to Sovereign Bank represents much more than a name change. The decision to adopt the name Sovereign Bank reflects the institution’s dedication to their core values and its role as a pivotal player in the financial landscape.
“The name Sovereign Bank is a tribute to our roots and a reflection of our mission,” said President and Chief Executive Officer Bryan Cain. “Our name encapsulates our commitment to sovereignty, not just in name but in action. We are dedicated to supporting economic development, preserving cultural heritage and advancing financial opportunities for all our clients.”
Sovereign Bank remains dedicated to its mission of fostering economic self-sufficiency and providing unparalleled financial services to its clients. The bank’s name marks a significant milestone in its journey, reinforcing its position as a leading financial institution rooted in values and committed to creating lasting impact.
“Our new name is a powerful reminder of our heritage and our ongoing commitment to support the economic and financial aspirations of our communities,” added Cain.
With a strong commitment to sovereignty and self-determination, Sovereign Bank continues to lead in delivering innovative and impactful financial services.
