Compass Bank, a Birmingham-founded financial institution that pioneered automated banking in Alabama, operated under dedicated ZIP code 35296 in Jefferson County. The bank's roots trace to Central Bank and Trust Company, incorporated in December 1963 and opened for business in March 1964. Central Bancshares became the first Alabama bank to own an out-of-state bank, and in November 1993 rebranded as Compass Bancshares to reflect its regional expansion. The USPS assigned this unique postal designation prior to 2004, serving the bank's substantial correspondence operations.
Spanish banking giant BBVA acquired Compass in September 2007 for $9.6 billion, and the institution operated as BBVA Compass until rebranding to BBVA USA in 2019. PNC Financial Services completed its acquisition of BBVA USA in June 2021, integrating the Birmingham operations into its national network. Located in Birmingham's Central City neighborhood within the broader Northside area, the single delivery code reflects the consolidated corporate mail function.
