Who are City National Bank of Florida's competitors, and what are the alternatives?
City National Bank of Florida files no 10-K. Its owner Bci describes its competition in its 2025 integrated annual report. CNB, it says, operates among many community and regional banks and a significant presence of the largest US commercial banks. It also competes with savings associations, credit unions, consumer-finance and mortgage-banking companies, mutual funds and large retailers. Bci names the largest bank competitors in Florida as Bank of America, Wells Fargo, JPMorgan Chase, Citibank, Truist, Regions, BankUnited and TD Bank. FDIC data for June 30, 2025 show how they stack up in CNB's home market. In Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, CNB holds 6.20% of deposits from 29 offices, fifth after Bank of America (16.00%), JPMorgan Chase (12.41%), Wells Fargo (11.14%) and Citibank (6.60%). Truist (6.13%) and BankUnited (6.00%) are just behind. Bci calls CNB the third-largest Florida-based bank. In Orlando, where CNB is expanding, it holds 0.95% from 2 offices; Truist leads with 19.18%. CNB's business is commercial: small business, middle-market and corporate clients and commercial real estate loans of $5 million to $50 million, per Bci. That puts it against Regions, Seacoast, Hancock Whitney and SouthState across the state. The non-bank rivals Bci names are mortgage banks, consumer-finance companies and mutual funds. In small-business payments, Square sells banking alongside card acceptance.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
