History and finance options
History
Sheffield Financial was created in April 1992 by Jack Snow and his wife, Bonnie and four employees and $3.4 million dollars in loans.
In August 1997, Sheffield Financial was acquired by Branch Banking & Trust (BBT NYSE). BB&T are head-quartered in Winston-Salem, North Carolina and it is the 11th largest bank in the United States. They offer the more traditional financial products and are advisors for mortgages, loans and investments.
The retail finance programs of Sheffield Financial are available to manufacturers and dealers, plus retail customers nationwide.
One example provided by the company demonstrating their customer service ethic is that they never use voice mail during normal business hours, ensuring that the customers get to speak to an operative when they most need to.
Located in North Carolina, Sheffield Financial has 150 employees.

Sheffield Financial provides revolving and instalment loans strictly for power equipment, such as power sports, motorcycles, lawn equipment and the trailers needed to transport them.
