SunTrust Banks (Bailout Company)



SunTrust Banks
History
The earliest predecessor institution, Farmers Bank of Alexandria, Virginia, was founded in 1811.[1] The most direct corporate ancestor, the Trust Company of Georgia, was founded in 1891 as the Commercial Travelers' Savings Bank. Two years later, it restructured as a trust company and renamed itself Trust Company of Georgia.[7] The current SunTrust Banks, Inc., was the result of a merger between the Trust Company of Georgia and SunBanks, Inc., of Orlando, Florida (founded in 1934 as First National Bank of Orlando) in 1985. The merged company operated as Trust Company Bank in Georgia and Sun Bank in Florida until 1995, when all banks took the SunTrust name.[1]

In 2007, the bank was one of the first major U.S. institutions to experience a stock value decline, bottoming out at $9.06/share in February 2009 from a high of $90.61/share on May 22, 2007.[8] They took part in the federal government's Troubled Asset Relief Program[9] and ultimately were investigated for executive compensation.[10] In 2012, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit that SunTrust Banks, Inc., violated federal law when a branch manager sexually harassed three female employees at its Sarasota, Fla., Gulf Gate Branch Office location.
