   I guess you know you are a Plugger when you can not only remember way back when it was actually First Golden State Bank – but you still have the box of unused check which you still had when Golden State Bank disappeared the first time.

   In 1964 I opened a checking account with Philadelphia National Bank which reorganized into CoreStates which was acquired by First Union, then Wachovia, then Wells Fargo. But embedded in my 13-digit WF account number is still my original 7-digit PNB number.

   I was a member of the bank of the month club; Same bank, just a different sign and new checks every month.
   The first group sold after receiving a promise of debt coverage and no legal prosecution.

   You’re a white collar plugger, if you have worked for six companies and have never changed desks.

    City Bank & Trust 1963 in Dallas, Metro Bank, Allied Bank, First Interstate Bank, Wells Fargo. Because acquisitions include liabilities as well as assets, we have a fee-free Wells Fargo account (it was a “charter depositor” deal at City Bank).

    For me I started out with First American bought by Am South bought by Regions. I’m one lucky fella as through all changes my routing number and account number remained the same
