Fifth Third Bank

Fifth Third Bancorp is a diversified financial services company and the parent of Fifth Third Bank. Its activities span consumer, corporate, private and investment banking, mortgage and consumer lending, wealth and asset management, and credit card services. The group traces its origins to 1858, when it was founded as the Bank of the Ohio Valley; the Fifth Third name dates from the 1908 merger of Third National Bank and Fifth National Bank.

The bank is headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, and operates a retail network of 1,087 branches and 2,400 ATMs across 12 states: Ohio, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and West Virginia. It serves millions of customers, is among the largest banks in the United States and appears on the Fortune 500 list.

Business is organised across several segments, including Branch Banking, Commercial Banking, Consumer Lending, and Wealth & Asset Management. The range of regulated activities conducted across state lines - deposit-taking, lending, mortgage origination, investment services and card issuance - implies work spanning federal and multi-state banking regulation, lending and consumer finance rules, and the structuring of corporate, commercial and investment banking transactions.
