Marine Midland Bank was an American bank formerly headquartered in Buffalo, New York, with several hundred branches throughout the state of New York, Pennsylvania and two branches located in Seattle, Washington. The bank was founded in 1850 as Marine Bank and the company was relaunched as Marine Midland Corporation in 1929. The regional banks in New York state and Seattle were unified under the Marine Midland name in 1976. As of 1981, it was the 13th largest bank in the United States.
The bank was acquired by HSBC in 1980 and changed its name to HSBC Bank USA in 1999, while its branches were extended to Pennsylvania in 1998 through the acquisition of First Commercial Bank of Philadelphia. As a result of several transactions since the turn of the millennium, much of what was once Marine Midland is now part of KeyBank with the exception of Downstate New York and Pennsylvania, that is now part of Citizens Bank. Branches in Seattle are part of Cathay Bank.
