First Chicago Bank was an American retail and commercial bank based in Chicago, Illinois. Its roots trace back to 1863, when it received one of the first charters under the then new National Bank Act. Over the years, the bank operated under several names including The First National Bank of Chicago and First Chicago NBD (following its 1995 merger with the former NBD Bank). In 1998, First Chicago NBD merged with Banc One Corporation to form Bank One Corporation, today a part of JPMorgan Chase.
