In 1992 Security Pacific Bank merged with San Francisco-based BankAmerica (now called Bank of America), a deal that was at the time one of the largest bank mergers in history. Federal regulators, however, forced the sale of Rainier Bank subsidiary, as the combination of BankAmerica's Seafirst subsidiary and Rainier would have given BankAmerica too large a share of the market in Washington state. The Rainier Bank branches were divided and sold off to West One Bancorp (now U.S. Bancorp) and KeyBank.
