2. Branch Banking and Trust Company (BB&T). Through mergers and acquisitions and more than 120 years, Branch Banking is now known as Truist Bank!
After the Civil War, many entrepreneurs were hesitant to invest in such a torn area. However, Alpheus Branch and Thomas Jefferson Hadley saw potential in starting a banking business, and in 1872 they formed Branch and Hadley in Wilson, North Carolina.
