What U.S. Bancorp does

Minneapolis super-regional bank offering consumer/commercial banking, payments (Elavon) and wealth management across the US.

Earns from the spread between deposits and loans and, unusually for a bank of its kind, a large share from fees on payments: card processing, merchant acquiring through Elavon and corporate payments. Buying MUFG Union Bank's regional franchise in 2022 extended its reach on the West Coast.
