Our success in 2016 was a result of the tremendous efforts of our 70,000 employees working hard as One U.S. Bank to help our customers build financially secure futures – and they did it with ethics and integrity. We are proud of these achievements because they are a reflection of our people and our culture. As usual, you can expect U.S. Bank to deliver consistent, predictable, and repeatable results.”
