The Huntington National Bank recently opened a new branch in Spartanburg, S.C., marking the expansion of the Ohio-based bank into the Carolinas.
The full-service branch located at 172 East Main Street in Spartanburg will now begin serving customers with tellers, personal and private bankers, and ATMs.
“We are energized by the enthusiastic response from our customers and the community,” Brant Standridge, president of Consumer and Regional Banking at Huntington, said. “This new branch builds on our already established presence in the Carolinas, our successful commercial expansion in the region and accelerates Huntington’s growth. We look forward to delivering our expertise and full suite of products and capabilities across personal, wealth, business, and commercial banking to customers throughout North and South Carolina.”
This is just the start for its expansion in the region. Over the next three years, the bank plans to add approximately 55 branches and hire more than 350 colleagues across North and South Carolina.
“Opening this branch in the heart of Spartanburg is an important step in building deeper relationships with our customers and neighbors,” Wes Lehrer, upstate market president, said. “As a lifelong Spartanburg resident, I’m proud to bring Huntington’s ‘people-first, customer-centered’ approach to banking and support the area’s continued growth. We look forward to supporting this community.”
Huntington will open its next branch in Charlotte’s SouthPark area on May 12. The next South Carolina branch will open in Charleston in the fourth quarter.
