WASHINGTON, Dec. 18, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (USHCC) applauds BB&T Bank for the recent expansion of its initiative to establish multicultural banking center branches. This initiative aims to increase multicultural banking centers by 35%, totaling 350 nationally between now and the end of the year.
