The Huntington National Bank opened its first branch in Kernersville, North Carolina, on June 9, 2026, expanding its footprint in the Carolinas. Located at 250 E. Mountain St., the newly built, freestanding facility represents the bank's 10th full-service branch in the Carolinas and the fourth in the Triad area. This opening is part of Huntington's strategy to establish approximately 55 branches across the region.

The Kernersville branch offers a full range of financial services, including local, personalized advice, drive-thru teller lanes, and a drive-up ATM. The bank now operates across eight markets in the Carolinas, strengthening its commitment to local customers and communities.

Triad Expansion

Huntington's presence in the Triad area includes the new Kernersville location alongside three other branches opened this year. The network consists of a flagship location in Winston-Salem at 578 S. Westview Drive, a second Winston-Salem branch at 194 E. Hanes Mill Road, and a Greensboro branch at 1401 Four Seasons Station Drive.

Strategic Growth

Trent Holland, regional president for North Carolina and South Carolina, emphasized the significance of reaching the 10-branch milestone. The expansion began in May of last year with the opening of the first full-service branches in Spartanburg, South Carolina, and Charlotte, North Carolina. Since then, Huntington has added locations in Charleston and Greenville, South Carolina, and Raleigh, North Carolina.

Earlier this year, Huntington completed its merger with Cadence Bank and the conversion of Veritex Community Bank. These partnerships are intended to create a platform for further organic growth and investment in the region. Huntington Bancshares Incorporated is a $285 billion asset regional bank holding company headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, operating over 1,400 branches in 21 states.
