U.S.Bank’s role in the economy is
crucial as the nation recovers from
the economic downturn, and a robust
recovery relies on investment in
business and industrial expansion.
Even during the recession, U.S.Bank
was willing and able to extend credit
to middle market, large corporate,
commercial real estate and financial
institution clients.
With our financial strength —
U.S.Bank enjoys the best debt
ratings in the industry — we are able
to develop custom-tailored financing
plans that offer the best solutions
for companies, large and small,
and new tools to help make them
effective and efficient. U.S.Bank
Treasury Management clients
now can perform key functions on
the go with our new app, Mobile
SinglePoint® for iPhone and iPad.
In March 2014, U.S.Bank was named
a “Best Brand” for Middle Market
Banking by Greenwich Associates.
U.S.Bank has greatly expanded
its national corporate banking and
capital markets activity during the
past several years, opening new
offices, offering new products such
as high-grade bonds, private
placements and municipal
securities — enabling customers
slowed by the economy to move
forward again.
The intersection
of business, industry
and potential
U.S.Bank plays a significant role in financing
commercial endeavors and expansion, fulfilling two
of our most critical roles — supporting commerce
and helping get the economy operating at full
strength again. Average commercial loans grew
15.5percent year-over-year in fourth quarter 2014.
