Firstvirginia- the favored financial partner!

Browsers searching for the First Virginia Bank website on the net are sure to have a tough time tracking it out as the site has moved to http://www.BBandT.com. Hence any user who searches for firstvirgnia.com will be automatically re-directed to the new home page of BB & T. BB&T Corporation is one of the top financial holding companies in the country. The origin of the first Virginia bank stretches back to 1872 and even today continues to offer clients a complete range of financial services including banking, lending, insurance, trust, and wealth management solutions.

BB&T Corporation, headquartered in Winston-Salem, N.C. is a fast growing, highly profitable financial holding company with $130.8 billion in assets. Its bank subsidiaries operate more than 1,500 financial centers in the Carolinas, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Georgia, Maryland, Tennessee, Florida, Alabama, Indiana and Washington, D.C. BB&T has several top rankings to its credit; it ranks No. 2 in market share in North Carolina; No. 2 in Virginia/Washington, D.C.; No. 3 in South Carolina; No. 1 in West Virginia; No. 5 in Georgia; No. 6 in Maryland; No. 4 in Kentucky; and No. 5 in Tennessee.

The bank claims to be different from other financial holdings companies in terms of its operation strategy. It also boasts of a more responsive, reliable and empathetic client service system. The bank has successfully acquired 60 community banks and thrifts, more than 85 insurance agencies, and 35 non-bank financial services companies, which has significantly contributed to BB&T's success. The sections are broadly classified into personal and business, each with sub sections like solutions and products.

BB & T is very particular about offering complete client protection and wants its users to identify its priority. Therefore it has a whole section dedicated to security on the home page itself. There are separate log-in boxes for personal and business services along with another one specifically for opening an account. The site cannot be called a neatly coordinated one. The links lie rather spread all over the home page, eve though there are no glaring ads to distract the users while navigating through the site. The bank promises to be with its clients at every step of the way, from application to closing. No wonder it won the J D Power & Associates award for highest level of customer satisfaction among all mortgage servicing companies.
