Fifth Third Bancorp

The unusual name traces to a 1908 merger of Cincinnati's Fifth National and Third National banks. Today Fifth Third Bancorp is one of the larger US regional banks, with more than a thousand branches concentrated across the Midwest and Southeast. Its business is the classic banking model: gather deposits from consumers and companies, lend the money out as mortgages and commercial and consumer loans, and earn the spread between the two, topped up by fee income from payments, wealth management and treasury services. Regional banks like this live and die on deposit costs and credit quality; profits widen when rates and loan demand are healthy and narrow when funding gets expensive or borrowers default. Commercial real-estate exposure and swings in interest rates are the risks investors watch most closely.
