Bank of N.T. Butterfield Is a Finance Stock You Should Know

Banking in the U.S. is dominated by a handful of behemoths. This causes many investors to miss out on some hidden gems in the financial industry that, frankly, are easily overlooked. One of my favorites is one whose branches you certainly haven't seen on any American street corners: Bank of N.T. Butterfield and Son (NYSE: NTB).

But don't let its lack of visibility cause you to ignore it as a potential investment. What it lacks in name recognition, it has certainly made up for in profitability, as well as a dividend history that puts it head-and-shoulders above the U.S. mega-banks.
