Compass Bank's 585 branches in six
states will be known as BBVA Compass next year to reflect its
corporate parent, Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argenta SA of Spain.
Thomas Graham, executive vice president of corporate
communications, said Wednesday the bank is changing its brand, with
signs outside the branches to post the new name during the first
quarter of 2009. He said the bank was not changing its name, with
customer accounts to remain under Compass Bank.
The brand change to BBVA Compass was included in the bank's
earnings report this week.
Compass, which is headquartered in Birmingham and was acquired
by the Spanish financial giant in the past year, operates 585
branches in Alabama, Florida, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and
Colorado.
