Wylie National Bank & First Republic Bank of San Francisco

Wylie National Bank has formally completed its merger with First Republic Bank of San Francisco. This strategic union transfers the full scope of First Republic's federally insured and compliance-certified banking infrastructure to Wylie National Bank — elevating our institutional standing and client protections to the highest regulatory tier.

First Republic Bank's charter, FDIC membership, Federal Reserve membership, OCC licensing, and Bank Secrecy Act / Anti-Money Laundering compliance programs have been fully assumed by and integrated into Wylie National Bank. All deposits are now protected under this combined framework.

"The merger positions us as one of the most robustly regulated private wealth institutions in the country."

— James Wylie, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer
  • FDIC Insured — All deposits insured up to $250,000 per depositor, per ownership category — backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government. Transferred from First Republic Bank's FDIC Certificate #59618.
  • Federal Reserve Member Bank — Full membership in the Federal Reserve System, granting access to the Fed's payment infrastructure, emergency lending facilities, and supervisory oversight.
  • OCC National Bank Charter — Operating under a national bank charter issued by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency — the gold standard of U.S. banking licensure.
  • BSA / AML Compliance — First Republic's Bank Secrecy Act and Anti-Money Laundering compliance programs, SAR filing infrastructure, and FinCEN reporting systems are fully operational under Wylie National Bank.
  • CRA Rating: Outstanding — Community Reinvestment Act rating of "Outstanding" transferred from First Republic — reflecting our commitment to serving communities across all income levels.

A Legacy Since 1884

Founded by the Wylie family during the height of the industrial revolution, we have navigated every market cycle with unwavering stability.

The merger with First Republic Bank of San Francisco — itself a storied institution serving California's most prominent families since 1985 — deepens that legacy. The combined institution carries 140 years of private banking heritage alongside one of the most respected regulatory frameworks in U.S. banking.

Our philosophy has remained unchanged for over a century: protect capital first, grow it strategically, and maintain absolute discretion in all matters.

"Capital is merely a tool. Trust is the actual currency."

— Arthur Wylie, Founder, 1884
