Every now and then, I'll meet somebody who hasn't heard of BB&T Insurance Services. "I didn't even know BB&T offered insurance," they'll say. So imagine their surprise when I tell them we're actually the eighth largest agency in the world. Now that really throws them for a loop.

Happens all the time across our company, even with a rich heritage dating back to 1922. We don't mind. We're proud of our stature in the industry, but one thing about our personality is this: We don't dwell too much on us.

We're far too interested in what we can do for you. Business insurance? Employee benefits? Personal coverage? Check, check, check. And more. We work with individuals and families, small business owners, Fortune 500 companies and nonprofits across the country. And with each and every one, we listen first.
