My ex room mate was a BB&T banker in Wilson and moved with them to Winston Salem. He is retired but pre election I asked him a banker’s view of Trump. He told me he heard whispers that BB&T folks were told not to deal with Trump and did not.
They bought my bank and expanded in to East Tennessee. My bank was about as conservative as you can get.
While this was going on over in Winston Salem, Wachovia was not doing well and failed. Poor old Wells Fargo was forced to swallow them.
There you have a marked contrast in Banker attitudes. BB&T from lowly Wilson and high and mighty Wachovia from Winston Salem and the boys from Wilson prevailed and I think are in the top 10 in America now.
<< lowly Wilson >>
Of Wilson’s BBQ fame? :^)
Their success is proof conservative values are winning values.
I kind of miss Wach-o-via-ya-money bank.
What I really miss was a regional bank called South Carolina National that Wachovia absorbed in the early 90s.
