Regions Insurance is a leading insurance broker serving more than 60,000 clients across the Southeast, Texas and Indiana.

This acquisition adds incremental balance to BB&T’s insurance business between its wholesale and retail insurance channels. With the completion of this acquisition, BB&T Insurance’s retail network will contribute almost half of its insurance brokerage revenue.
