Its bank subsidiaries operate more than 1,800 financial centers in the Carolinas, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Georgia, Tennessee, Maryland, Florida, Alabama, Indiana, Texas and Washington, D.C.

BB&T’s operating strategy distinguishes it from other financial holding companies. BB&T’s banking subsidiaries are organized as a group of community banks, each with a regional president, which allows decisions to be made locally, close to the client. This also makes BB&T’s client service more responsive, reliable and empathetic.

Since 1989, BB&T has completed the acquisition of more than 60 community banks and thrifts, more than 100 insurance agencies, and 35 non-bank financial services companies. This acquisition strategy has contributed significantly to BB&T’s success.
