F.N.B. Corporation (FNB) announced that it will expand its retail, commercial, and wealth management presence in South Carolina by establishing three new retail banking locations and a downtown regional hub in Charleston and the surrounding area. In addition to opening three innovative technology branches, First National Bank, FNB's largest subsidiary, will operate a network of standalone traditional and interactive ATMs throughout the market.

These new locations will build on FNB's significant regional presence, which currently includes Commercial Banking, Commercial Real Estate, Small Business Banking, and Mortgage Banking capabilities.

"Our new locations in Charleston will enable us to better serve commercial and consumer clients in one of the Southeast's fastest-growing markets, where we already have established local commercial, small business, and mortgage relationships," said Vincent J. Delie, Jr., chairman, president, and CEO of F.N.B. Corporation and First National Bank. "We look forward to expanding our team in Charleston and increasing our commitment to the region."

Efforts in Charleston will be led by Greg Heaton, president of FNB's Charlotte region. Heaton, who has extensive executive experience serving the market, added, "I am excited to get back into Charleston. We already have great people covering the market and I look forward to building out our local team to deliver FNB's products and services in a full-service manner, including a complement of retail locations." Heaton will also add a regional market executive to manage the Charleston commercial team.

The new office locations will utilize FNB's innovative design, which integrates state-of-the-art technology and engagement with knowledgeable local staff for a consultative client experience. The offices provide access to a comprehensive range of personal and business banking products and services, customized by local experts who are empowered to collaborate and make decisions in the best interest of each client FNB serves.
