Aggressively pursuing "retail" banking business, First National City's domestic branches have spurted from 84, all in New York City, to 166, spilling into the populous suburbs. Earnestly following the expansion of U.S. business abroad, the bank's overseas branches have more than doubled to 206 in spots from Chile to Chad. And having pioneered the personal loan in 1928, the bank now offers nearly every kind of financial service from...
