Wikipedia says: 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.[3] 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.[4] The name went through several changes over the years, until on March 24, 1969, the name was changed to Fifth Third Bank.

Fifth National? Third National? Wouldn't that merger result in the "Eighth National Bank"? Yeah, I know, kind of dull, LOL.

And I thank you.
Still an awful name for a bank.

Then again maybe not. If your confused before you walk in, then they can compound the confusion with a complicated loan in their favor. Then again, they dont seem all that crafty.

And as I indicated in an earlier thread, Fifth Third should have well noted and heeded this guy's prior convictions in four states. They bailed on the 125 million loan agreement; and in hindsight they should never have extended the two of them a dime, much less crawling in bed with them for 3 million.

The guy's a thief, and the bank exercised poor judgement.
