The announcement today by David White, Southern California regional president of Comerica Bank's Western Market, of the 10th new banking center in California in 2006 continues a banking center expansion in Los Angeles County. There are now 17 Comerica banking centers in Los Angeles County.
"We're continuing to combine the power of national lending and local banking in Los Angeles County. Comerica Bank's ongoing banking center expansion in this region increases customer convenience with additional network of access points," White said.
This strategy has seen the number of Comerica banking centers in California grow from 41 in early 2004 to 68 this week. White said the growth will accelerate in 2007: He anticipates there will be 86 Comerica banking centers in California by January 2008. Comerica Bank plans to accelerate the pace of its banking center expansion and its business-line diversification in fast-growing markets in California, Arizona, Texas and Florida over the next four years.
In mid-2006, 37 percent of Comerica banking centers were located outside of Michigan; by the end of 2010, the bank expects more than half of its banking centers will be located in the new Western and Sun Belt markets. The new banking centers feature Saturday banking hours, ATMs and night- depositories.
