Republic Bank Opens New Banking Center in the Cincinnati Area

WEST CHESTER, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Republic Bank announced today that it has opened its newest banking center in West Chester at 9100 West Chester Towne Center Drive, Suite #110.

“We are thrilled to open our new banking center in West Chester,” said Republic Bank’s Vice President and Market Manager, Kevin D. Herthel. “Our strong team of local bankers are invested in the community and committed to taking care of our clients in this neighborhood.”

“We believe our solutions-based approach to banking will be embraced by the area’s businesses and residents,” Herthel added. “Our bankers have been involved in the West Chester community for many years, so we encourage everyone in the community to stop by to visit the new office and meet our staff.”

“Our new West Chester banking center, our fifth Greater Cincinnati location, will enhance our successful community banking presence in the Cincinnati region,” said Republic Bank Chairman and CEO Steve Trager. “We look forward to helping businesses and consumers achieve their financial goals and extending friendly, local lending.”

In addition to traditional bank lobby hours from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday – Friday, this location will feature a drive-thru Interactive Teller Machine (“ITM”). ITMs feature live customer service representatives available through real-time video, allowing for extended banking hours and greater customer convenience.
