The transaction, scheduled to be completed by mid-2016, is now subject to federal regulators and National Penn shareholders approval.
The deal marks BB&T’s second purchase of a Pennsylvania-based bank, following the completion of a $2.5bn deal to acquire Lititz-based Susquehanna Bank.
Separately, the department has also given the go-ahead to F.N.B.’s purchase of Metro Bancorp of Swatara Township.
The deal, scheduled to be completed by February, has already received the nod from the Federal Deposit Insurance and the Federal Reserve Bank.
