In what may evolve into a statewide banking trend, Huntington Bancshares Inc. now owns the first major insurance agency sold to a bank in Florida.

The Columbus, OH-based institution purchased the assets of 50-year-old J. Rolfe Davis Insurance Agency Inc. for an undisclosed price. The amount of real estate involved in the deal was also not disclosed.

Davis executives will continue to run the agency for Huntington National Bank, the primary subsidiary of the Ohio parent.

The agency hopes to garner new business leads through the bank’s customers.
