United Community Bank, a retail and commercial banking service provider, plans to expand operations in Greenville, South Carolina. The $24.8 million investment will create 227 new jobs.

The company will name the location as its new corporate headquarters and expects the expansion to be completed by 2024.

"We are pleased to establish a permanent, long-term presence in Greenville as part of our growth strategy.

We remain committed to all communities across our footprint and look forward to being a contributor to business growth across the entire region,” said United Community Banks, Inc.

The Coordinating Council for Economic Development has approved job development credits related to this project and awarded Greenville County a $750,000 Set-Aside grant for costs related to this project.

"With United Community Bank expanding in Greenville County and selecting the location to be the company's new corporate headquarters, we celebrate another big win for the state and local community. We look forward to watching their continued growth in our community for years to come,” Secretary of Commerce Bobby Hitt said.

With an executive presence in Greenville County since 2012, United Community Bank specializes in personalized banking services for individuals and businesses.
