BB&T

Comprehensive Financial Services Provider

In today’s banking environment it is unique to find a major financial services company that delivers its services in a personal style like a community bank. BB&T is such an institution. All lines of financial services are provided to its clients through the locally managed region that includes the Eastern Shore. In addition to the full range of depository and lending services, they are quality providers of both personal and commercial insurance products, merchant credit card processing, leasing, mortgages, commercial cash management, personal and commercial investment products, payroll processing and private and wealth management individualized service. All of these areas of expertise are serviced by local specialists. BB&T entered the Eastern Shore market 5 years ago when Atlantic Bank was acquired.

“Our style is that of a community bank, with local decision making, but offering the services of a major financial services company.”

Today, 11 branches serve the Lower Eastern Shore that includes Wicomico, Worcester, Somerset and Dorchester Counties. Additionally, two commercial offices are maintained, one in Salisbury and one in Ocean City. The bank is one of the leading financial services companies in the country and has been highly recognized for its performance and strength during these turbulent times. Hunter Calloway, Area Executive for the Lower Eastern Shore says that “our style is that of a community bank, with local decision making, but offering the services and capabilities of a major financial services company.” Each region of BB&T’s 33 regions has its own regional president and senior management team. “I am pleased to be a member of our regional senior leadership team bringing local decision making to this area,” says Calloway. BB&T’s values form the foundation of how they do business. Their vision, mission, and statement of purpose help to articulate how those values guide relationships with their clients and help them to create the best financial institution possible. They stand behind their mission, by helping clients achieve economic success and financial security, creating a place for their employees to learn, grow, and be fulfilled in their work, making their community a better place to live, and optimizing the long-term return to their shareholders, while providing a safe and sound investment. BB&T Corporation headquartered in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, is a fast growing, highly profitable financial-holding company. They have been awarded the number one small business lending bank four out of the last five years by the Small Business Administration. Additionally, many other recognitions have been awarded for various product lines such as mortgage servicing and 401k management. Calloway says that “our goal for the Lower Eastern Shore is to significantly grow our business and thus, overall market share over the next five years. We are going to have fun doing it and look forward to the challenge.”
