Hancock Bank will open its 40,000 square foot corporate operations center on two floors of the Capitol Commerce Center in Montgomery, Alabama, with plans to create 200 jobs in the region. The facility will house its corporate support professionals, operations and call center and commercial banking.

“Hancock Bank was founded to help create opportunities for the people and communities we serve. Establishing a corporate hub at the Capitol Commerce Center enables Hancock to center key positions in one of the state’s most dynamic regions and to help stimulate more economic opportunity for Central Alabama and its citizens,” said Ron Milliet, Hancock’s Chief Information Officer.

The bank said it plans to employ at least 200 workers at the Capitol Commerce Center, with about half of those positions to be newly created. The other positions will include employees relocated from the Central Alabama region, the Gulfport area and New Orleans, according to Paul Maxwell, the bank’s corporate communications director.

“Yet another major financial presence has come to Montgomery; and it speaks volumes of the confidence that Hancock Bank’s leadership team has placed in our community’s highly trained and dependable work force,” said Horace H. Horn Jr., chairman of the Montgomery Area Chamber of Commerce.
