Huntington National Bank (NASDAQ: HBAN) is adding a retail presence and growing its workforce across the Carolinas and Charlotte region.
The Columbus, Ohio-based bank said today it plans to add about 55 branches across the Carolinas by 2029. It anticipates hiring more than 350 employees across multiple segments by that same year.
The first locations are expected to open in Charlotte; Raleigh; Winston-Salem; and Charleston, Columbia, and Greenville, South Carolina. The bank is also bolstering its branch presence in Denver, Minneapolis and Chicago.
Huntington did not provide specific branch or hiring figures for the Charlotte region.
Heath Campbell, Huntington’s executive managing director for the Carolinas, told CBJ that the bank’s retail expansion is the next step in its long-term commitment to the Carolinas.
“Now that we’ve had the opportunity to build the early stages of a brand awareness, it makes sense that with the receptivity, and, quite honestly, just the markets and the dynamics happening in the Carolinas,” he said.
The Carolinas expansion will provide Huntington the opportunity to bring its personal, wealth, business and commercial banking services to more than 30,000 existing clients across the region.
“With all the new data and analytics, we can really capture the density of opportunity to best serve the clients in the communities that we represent,” Campbell said.
