Amadeo Peter Giannin was born in the fateful year of 1870. In 1885 he began his career as a fruit and vegetable commission merchant on the docks of San Francisco. In 1904 he opened the Bank of Italy in San Francisco. The Bank of Italy became the Bank of America in 1928
The Wall Street bank that Giannini chose for his takeover bid was the successor to the corrupt 1st Bank of the United States which lost its charter in 1811:
Sometime toward the end of 1927 Belden found the kind of large, well-connected bank he felt certain Giannini was looking for: the 116-year-old Bank of America, successor to the Bank of the United States, which had been founded in 1812 and later grew to financial prominence as one of the leading banks of New York. Located at 66 Wall Street, Bank of America occupied the lower five floors of its own thirty-two story, spiral-topped skyscraper that the New York Times had described as "the best known in greater New York and an architecture purely American." The first bank of the United States was chartered by Congress in 1791. The charter was to last for 20 years. Congress refused to renew the bank charter when it expired in 1811. The bank then changed its name to protect the guilty and became known as the Bank of America with headquarters in New York City:
One of the three other banks incorporated in 1812 was organized by the New York stockholders of the Bank of the United States who, wishing to obtain a charter under which the business of the Bank's New York office might be continued, applied for incorporation as the Bank of America. The capital would be $6,000,000, including $5,000,000 of Bank of the United States stock. It would be the largest bank in the States and a gain for New York over Philadelphia in the financial and commercial rivalry that had arisen between them. Being mainly Federalist and possessed of so much capital, the bank was sure to be opposed both by the Republicans who had a legislative majority, and by the existing banks in New York.
