FameRank: 3

"Credit Suisse First Boston" (informally "CSFB") was the investment banking division of Credit Suisse Group, prior to 2006. It was active in investment banking, capital markets and financial services.

In 2006, as part of a major rebranding exercise to communicate as an integrated organization - "'Credit Suisse"' to clients, employees and shareholders; the group retired the 'First Boston' name and amalgamated the CSFB operations to the newly reorganized Credit Suisse#Credit Suisse.2C Investment Banking Division/investment banking division of Credit Suisse.
