Description: ZION Zions Bancorporation

Zions Bancorporation (ZION) is a regional U.S. bank holding company headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, founded in 1873. It operates primarily across 11 western states through seven distinct bank charters, including Zions Bank, California Bank & Trust, Amegy Bank, and National Bank of Arizona. The company provides a full suite of commercial banking, small business lending, retail banking, wealth management, and capital markets/investment banking services. Its multi-brand structure reflects a growth strategy built largely through the acquisition and integration of regional banks, a common approach among U.S. regional banks seeking scale and geographic diversification while maintaining local market identity. The company rebranded from ZB, National Association to its current name in September 2018.
