      This Amendment No. 2 is filed by the Reporting Person to amend his
Schedule 13D dated October 21, 1986, as previously amended by Amendment No. 1
dated March 31, 1997. The Reporting Person's Schedule 13D hereby is further
amended as described below.

ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER.

      This Statement relates to the Class B Common Stock, $1 par value per share
("Class B Common Stock"), of First Citizens BancShares, Inc. (the "Issuer"),
whose principal executive offices are located at 239 Fayetteville Street,
Raleigh, North Carolina 27601.

ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

      (a)-(c) This Statement is filed by Lewis R. Holding, whose business
address is Post Office Box 29549, Raleigh, North Carolina 27626. Mr. Holding's
principal occupation is serving as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive
Officer of the Issuer and its wholly-owned subsidiary, First-Citizens Bank &
Trust Company, a North Carolina-chartered commercial bank whose principal
executive offices are located at 239 Fayetteville Street, Raleigh, North
Carolina 27601.

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

      (a)-(b) The shares of Class B Common Stock previously reported as
beneficially owned by the Reporting Person included an aggregate of 58,300
shares held by two irrevocable trusts for the benefit of the Reporting Person's
adult daughters and with respect to which the Reporting Person's spouse served
as one of two co-trustees with certain individual authority with respect to the
sale of assets of the trusts. During 1999, one of those trusts was terminated
and its assets were transferred to another of such trusts and, effective
November 1, 1999, the trustees of the remaining two trusts were restructured to
provide that six persons (including the Reporting Person's spouse) will serve as
co-trustees of each of the trusts and act by a majority vote. As a result of
such restructuring, the Reporting Person no longer deems himself to be the
beneficial owner of shares of Class B Common Stock held by the trusts.

      Following the above trustee restructuring, the Reporting Person is, or may
be deemed to be, the beneficial owner of an aggregate of 134,554 shares of Class
B Common Stock, constituting 7.82% of the outstanding Class B Common Stock
(based on a total of 1,720,360 shares outstanding), as follows:

   NO. OF SHARES          MANNER IN WHICH SHARES ARE HELD
   -------------          -------------------------------

 15,404 (0.90%)   Held by the Reporting Person individually
 36,525 (2.12%)   Held by The Robert P. Holding Foundation, a charitable
                  non-profit foundation of which the Reporting Person serves as
                  a director
 12,025 (0.70%)   Held by the Reporting Person's spouse individually
    581 (0.03%)   Held by the Reporting Person's adult daughter
                  individually

      Additionally, an aggregate of 70,019 shares (4.07%) are held of record by
the certain publicly-held corporations in which the Reporting Person is a
principal shareholder (but not a director or officer), or by a subsidiary of one
of those corporations, as follows:

   NO. OF SHARES          MANNER IN WHICH SHARES ARE HELD
   -------------          -------------------------------

  45,900 (2.67%)  Held by First Citizens Bancorporation of South Carolina, Inc.,
                  Columbia, S.C.
  22,219 (1.29%)  Held by Southern BancShares (N.C.), Inc., Mount Olive, N.C.
   1,725 (0.10%)  Held by Yadkin Valley Company, Raleigh, N.C.
     175 (0.01%)  Held by Yadkin Valley Life Insurance Company, Raleigh, N.C. (a
                  wholly-owned subsidiary of Yadkin Valley Company)

      The Reporting Person has sole voting and dispositive power as to the
15,404 shares of Class B Common Stock held by him individually and may be deemed
to have shared voting and dispositive powers as to the 36,525 shares held by The
Robert P. Holding Foundation, the 12,025 shares held by individually his spouse,
the 581 shares held individually by his adult daughter, and the aggregate of
70,019 shares held by the various corporations listed above. However, the
Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of shares held individually by
his spouse and adult daughter

      The above shares do not include an aggregate of 58,300 shares held by the
two irrevocable trusts described above, or 469,872 shares held by an additional
irrevocable trust for the benefit of the Reporting Person's adult daughter, each
of which trusts is managed by six individual trustees (including the Reporting
Person's spouse) acting by majority vote. The Reporting Person disclaims
beneficial ownership of shares held by the trusts.

      (c) The Reporting Person has not effected any transactions in the Class B
Common Stock during the 60 days preceding the date of this Amendment No. 2.
