Girard Bank was a Philadelphia-based bank founded after the death of Stephen Girard in 1831 by local merchants eager to trade on the sterling reputation of their namesake. Stephen Girard neither founded the bank, nor had any financial ties to the bank that bore his name. [1] The bank was acquired by Mellon Bank in 1983 and then, two decades later, by Citizens Bank.
