Fifth Third Bank

[Skeptic]

I'm tired of their ads, and I'm tired of the stupid name.

A simple Google search, and I understand the history behind the name, but change it to something else.

Like Money Hut.

Or Wa Mu. That one's available now.

Same with Mercantile.

I agree about the name.

[bigJOE]

i agree about the name as well. no one likes a name that just doesn't roll off the tongue. just listening to people say it during the ads is all you need to know about how stupid the name is.

They may just as well change their name to "Next", as Bank of America will soon become Bank of the World.

Name

Fifth Third's unusual name is the result of the June 1, 1908 merger of two banks, The Fifth National Bank and The Third National Bank, to become The Fifth Third National Bank of Cincinnati.^[6] Because the merger took place during a period when prohibitionist ideas were gaining popularity, it was believed that "Fifth Third" was better than "Third Fifth," which could be construed as a reference to three "fifths" of alcohol.^[7] The name went through several changes over the years, until on March 24, 1969, the name was changed to Fifth Third Bank.

5/3's slogan should be: We have a remainder!
