Winston Salem, N.C.-based bank BB&T Corporation reported commissions from its insurance brokerage business grew 9 percent in last year's fourth quarter compared to 2005.

Reporting its fourth-quarter results, BB&T said commissions grew to $214.5 million from $197.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2005.

The increase was due to the growth in commissions from the sale of property-casualty coverage and improved sales of employee benefits-related insurance products, the company said.
