The Bank was founded in San Francisco in 1985. It operated independently through 2007 (and was traded as a public company from 1986 – 2007) at which time it was acquired by Merrill Lynch. From September 2007 to June 30, 2010, it operated within several corporate legal entities (including Merrill Lynch Bank and Trust Co., FSB and Bank of America N.A.). On June 30, 2010 First Republic successfully completed a management-led buyout of its business from Bank of America and became an independent bank once again.
