The Huntington National Bank (Huntington) celebrated the expansion of its Consumer bank into the Carolinas region with the opening of its first branch at 172 East Main Street in Spartanburg on May2, 2025. The full-service branch will begin serving customers with tellers, personal and private bankers, and ATMs.

“We are energized by the enthusiastic response from our customers and the community,” said Brant Standridge, President of Consumer and Regional Banking at Huntington. “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.”

The opening of the Spartanburg branch launches Huntington’s broader expansion strategy across the Carolinas. Over the next three years, the bank plans to add approximately 55 branches and hire more than 350 colleagues across North and South Carolina.

Today’s opening coincides with The Crit, a community bike race hosted by PAL: Play. Advocate. Live Well. As part of the celebration, Huntington will host a tent on the race route, just outside of its new branch, to support riders and invite community members to explore the new space.

“Opening this branch in the heart of Spartanburg is an important step in building deeper relationships with our customers and neighbors,” said Wes Lehrer, Upstate Market President. “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. Huntington plans to open its next South Carolina branch in Charleston in the fourth quarter.
