Branch remained an active member in the company until his death in 1893. 　　In 1900, all of Branchs banking companies consolidated as Branch Banking and Company, allowing the institution to expand its services.

The bank made its final name change in 1913 to Branch Banking and Trust, or BBT, to reflect its new activities. 　　BBT sold Liberty Bonds during World War I and grew to have more than $4 million in assets by 1923.
