BB&T, formerly known as Branch Banking and Trust Company, is now part of Truist Financial Corporation. This major transformation took place following a strategic merger in 2019 between BB&T and Atlanta-based SunTrust Banks. The resulting entity, Truist, was formed to create one of the largest financial services organizations in the United States. Following the merger, the individual branding of both BB&T and SunTrust was phased out and replaced with the Truist name across all their branches, digital platforms, and customer-facing materials. While the name has changed, the combined institution continues to operate under the original bank charters and maintains the extensive service network that both legacy banks were known for. For customers who previously banked with BB&T, this transition meant that their accounts, routing numbers, and banking relationships were integrated into the new Truist framework, providing them with a broader range of financial products and a more expansive national presence than either institution could offer independently prior to the deal.
