First Citizens Bank’s middle market banking group is expanding in the northeastern U.S., leveraging its middle-market expertise to provide a full suite of financial solutions to midsize businesses across the region.

The group’s northeast expansion is bolstered by recent hirings of Nate Pusey, Boston-based northeast market executive and John Tyson, managing director, as well as Marc Einerman, New York-based managing director.

“We’re pleased to expand our middle market banking business to support clients in the northeast,” Brendan Chambers, who leads First Citizens middle market banking, said. “Through a relationship-based approach, deep industry knowledge and unparalleled product expertise, our focused team of middle market bankers is ready to serve clients with tailored financing solutions at all stages of their business journey.”

The northeast expansion adds to earlier geographic expansions in the midwest and south central U.S., which augmented existing strengths in the Carolinas and adjoining regions.

“This latest expansion demonstrates the valuable services we provide and the talented bankers we have serving clients across our footprint,” Chambers said. “We’re excited by our business’s continued growth and look forward to helping middle market companies in the Northeast achieve their business goals and thrive.”
