-- The BB&T Small Business and Middle Market banking
groups have won 22 Greenwich Excellence Awards from Greenwich
Associates, a leading global financial services research and
consulting firm. The 22 awards include 17 in national categories
and five regional awards. Since 2009 BB&T has earned 125
Greenwich Excellence Awards, more than any other bank. The awards
are based on interviews with more than 15,000 U.S. small businesses
and nearly 13,000 middle-market companies. Of more than 750 banks
evaluated, only 34 received Greenwich Excellence Awards in small
business and 25 in the middle market.
"BB&T has never lost sight of its focus on small business
and middle markets and we are delighted to receive this recognition
from our clients," said Ricky Brown,
president, BB&T. "We believe that a client-focused strategy
through our community banking structure serves our clients
well."
Among the 22 awards, BB&T received honors in "overall
satisfaction" for small business and middle-market companies in
both national and regional categories.
Greenwich Excellence Awards are determined by banks' performance
in Greenwich Associates' annual U.S. Small Business and Middle
Market Banking Research Study, in which decision makers from small
businesses with $1-10 million in
annual sales and middle-market businesses with $10 to $500 million in annual sales name the
banks they use and rate them in more than 10 banking and treasury
management categories. Recognition is based on statistical
differentiation at a 95 percent confidence level.
