Borrowed Funds
BB&T’s ability to borrow funds from nondeposit sources provides additional flexibility in meeting the
liquidity needs of the Company. Short-term borrowings include Federal funds purchased, securities sold under
repurchase agreements, master notes, short-term FHLB advances, U.S. Treasury tax and loan depository note
accounts and other short-term borrowings. See Note 9 “Federal Funds Purchased, Securities Sold Under
Agreements to Repurchase, and Short-Term Borrowed Funds” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements” herein for additional disclosures related to these types of borrowings.
BB&T also utilizes longer-term borrowings when management determines that the pricing and maturity
options available through these sources create cost-effective options for funding asset growth and satisfying
capital needs. BB&T’s long-term borrowings include long-term FHLB advances to Branch Bank, senior and
subordinated debt issued by BB&T Corporation and Branch Bank, junior subordinated debt underlying trust
preferred securities and capital leases. See Note 10 “Long-Term Debt” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements” herein for additional disclosures related to long-term borrowings.

approximately 29,400 full-time equivalent employees at December 31, 2007.
