"As recently as the 1990s, Philadelphia-based regional banks were some of the region’s largest employers. The last and largest, CoreStates, including the former Philadelphia National, First Pennsylvania, Meridian, and Germantown Savings, employed 17,000, centered in Philadelphia, when it was sold to a predecessor of today’s Wells Fargo in 1997.
