T the bank expanded its services and operations, growing steadily. In the 1970s and 1980s, Fifth Third Bancorp, through a series of acquisitions and mergers, significantly expanded its geographic footprint and diversified its financial services.

A Regional Focus
Fifth Third Bank has made a strategic choice to maintain a regional focus, as opposed to expanding into a national banking entity. This is in contrast to national banks, which often spread their operations across the entire country, requiring a broader, less specialized approach. The regional focus enables Fifth Third Bank to develop closer relationships with local customers and businesses and is a similar strategy employed by companies such as M&T Bank and Comerica.
