Listen to this article

The Huntington National Bank (Huntington) today announced the opening of its second full-service branch in North Carolina as the bank continues to expand its franchise in the Carolinas. 

Located at 124 E. Kingston Ave., in Charlotte’s South End area, the branch is now serving customers through tellers, personal bankers and ATMs. 

“It is with tremendous excitement that we open our new branch in South End, a community known for its entrepreneurial spirit, innovation and vibrant energy,” said Rai Glover, market president, Charlotte. “The opening of our South End branch allows us to deliver Huntington’s people-first, customer-centered approach to more individuals, families and businesses in Charlotte. With more branches on the way, we look forward to continuing to expand our presence in the Charlotte market and being an active part of its growth and success.” 

The South End branch is part of Huntington’s previously announced plans to open approximately 55 branches across North Carolina and South Carolina over a three-year period, deepening the bank’s presence in the Carolinas. 

In May of this year, Huntington opened its first North Carolina branch in Charlotte’s SouthPark area and its first South Carolina branch in Spartanburg, S.C. Huntington plans to open two additional branches in the Carolinas by the end of this year in the following locations: 

606 S. Main St., in Greenville, S.C. 

677 King St., in Charleston, S.C. 

Huntington’s expansion in the Carolinas is part of the bank’s broader growth strategy, which it continues to execute, as demonstrated by two recent announcements. 

Last month, Huntington announced plans to acquire Cadence Bank, a regional bank with more than 390 locations across Texas and the South. The combination, which is subject to receipt of regulatory approvals, shareholder approvals and other customary closing conditions, will deliver immediate scale in Texas and Mississippi and create a platform for further organic investment through strategic presence in high-growth markets.

Additionally, last month, Huntington completed its combination with Veritex Holdings, Inc., accelerating Huntington’s organic growth in Texas by expanding its presence in Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston. 

Upon completion of both combinations, proforma Huntington expects to be a top 10 U.S. bank with assets of $276 billion and deposits of $220 billion.
