Descriptiontext

Wilmington Trust, National Association is a national banking association subsidiary of M&T Bank Corporation (NYSE: MTB), headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware. The entity was formed in 1995 and was acquired by M&T Bank Corporation in 2010, after which it has operated as part of M&T's integrated regional banking franchise. Under the Wilmington Advisors @ M&T sub-brand, the company offers wealth management, retirement, education, and insurance planning services delivered through M&T employees who are registered representatives of LPL Financial, its core strategic partner for wealth products.

The company's core product portfolio spans traditional retail and small business banking: checking and savings accounts (including the M&T Preferred Money Market tiered savings product), certificates of deposit, mortgages and home equity loans, personal loans and lines of credit, and Visa-branded credit cards. Distribution is multi-channel, combining a regional physical branch network, an in-house inside-sales customer support center (1-800-724-2440), and digital banking across web and mobile applications on iOS and Android. Mobile features include encrypted transactions, Zelle peer-to-peer payments, mobile check deposit, and spending habit monitoring. Supporting infrastructure includes an FDIC-insured banking license, Equal Housing Lender designation, NMLS #381076 registration, and a Financial Education Center for customer content.

Revenue mechanics are typical of a diversified retail and small business bank, drawn from net interest income on loans and deposits, account and transaction fees, interchange on Visa-branded card products, and advisory fees and product commissions routed through LPL Financial. The customer base is horizontally diversified across individual consumers, small businesses (with a Top 10 SBA 7(a) lender designation for federal FY ending 9/30/2025), and enterprise wealth clients. The company was recognized as a 2026 Top Bank by Coalition Greenwich in its 2025 Commercial Banking Program, and reported $62.1M in community impact, 3,796 non-profit partnerships, and 194.8M volunteer hours in its 2025 Community Impact Report. Pricing for accounts and services is not publicly disclosed; customers are directed to contact an M&T representative for product terms.
