The Huntington National Bank is expanding its franchise into North Carolina and South Carolina. Huntington will significantly invest in the Carolinas, adding over 350 colleagues across multiple business lines and approximately 55 retail branches over the next five years. Initial branches will be placed in Charlotte, Raleigh and Winston-Salem in North Carolina and Charleston, Columbia and Greenville in South Carolina.

The bank’s investment builds upon its 2023 commercial banking expansion into North Carolina and South Carolina, its existing Carolinas customer base and the opening of its regional headquarters in Charlotte.

“The Carolinas is a fast-growing, highly dynamic region and we are proud to deepen our presence and bring our expertise and capabilities to even more customers in this market,” Brant Standridge, consumer and regional banking president for Huntington, said. “We are very excited to expand our franchise and bolster our retail presence in the Carolinas.”

“We are a national bank that believes in investing locally,” Heath Campbell, executive managing director and regional president, Carolinas for Huntington, said. “We are thrilled to build on our commercial banking investment in the region and strengthen our dedication to serving the local customers and communities that are at the heart of our mission.”
