What is the main purpose of this 8-K filing?

The main purpose of this 8-K filing is to provide investors with access to presentation materials (slides) and webcast details for U.S. Bancorp's presentation at the Barclays Americas Select Franchise Conference on May 13, 2014, in accordance with Regulation FD.

Where can I find the presentation slides and webcast?

The presentation slides are attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this 8-K filing. Both the slides and a live audio webcast (and its replay) can be accessed on U.S. Bancorp's website at usbank.com, under the 'About U.S. Bank' section, then 'Webcasts & Presentations' within 'Investor/Shareholder Information'.

Does this filing contain new financial results or significant company updates?

No, this filing does not report new financial results or disclose any new material events outside of providing access to presentation materials. It is a disclosure of information being presented at an investor conference.

What is the significance of the information being 'furnished' and not 'filed'?

When information is 'furnished' rather than 'filed,' it generally means the company is making the information available to the public to comply with disclosure rules (like Regulation FD) but is not subjecting it to the same level of liability under Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as formally filed documents. This information also won't be automatically incorporated into future SEC filings unless specifically stated.
