We can be our customers’ number-one provider of financial services – from demand, savings, time-deposit, and investment products to personal, commercial, or mortgage loans. Furthermore, we continue to expand our cash management, wealth management, electronic banking, credit card and merchant services.

New Offerings
During 2001 we completed these key initiatives:

  • Introduced Colonial Premier Account – The Premier Account, a combined checking money market and brokerage account, enables us to provide our high net-worth clients with a robust financial services product that enables them to effectively manage their funds in a combined account.

  • Implemented free financial planning service – In-depth financial plans are now available for customers who would benefit from a complete examination of their financial objectives and needs. This financial profile has been an excellent starting point in helping customers implement their agreed-upon financial strategy.

  • Created strategic partnerships – We have affiliated with two highly respected trust companies. Fiduciary Trust International, through its Miami office, will help promote and solicit trust business in our four Florida regions and in international markets. Founders Trust Company, in Birmingham, Alabama, will focus on customers in other regions.

  • Rolled out Colonial Business Check Card – Like the personal debit card, the Business Check Card allows business customers to make purchases directly from their business checking accounts, save time, and track business spending.

Brand Strength
As we expand our offerings throughout our six-state organization, our customers – regardless of where they live – recognize the single Colonial brand as a symbol of trustworthiness and service-mindedness. The power of our brand plainly invites and encourages customers to choose us for their banking and investment needs.
