BB&T Corporation (NYSE: BBT)
Overview
Big, Bold & Temerarious? That might be an apt description of BB&T, the wildly acquisitive banking company that's been spreading across the Southeast like kudzu. The company serves consumers, small to midsized businesses, and government entities through about 1,500 branches. Its flagship subsidiary, Branch Banking and Trust (aka BB&T), is one of North Carolina's oldest banks and a leading originator of residential mortgages in the Southeast. In addition to deposit accounts and loans, the company offers insurance, mutual funds, discount brokerage, wealth management, and financial planning services. Business services include leasing, factoring, and investment banking (through Scott & Stringfellow).
