U.S. Bank opens new OTR branch in January

In yet another sign of investment and confidence in Over-the-Rhine, U.S. Bank is moving closer to the heart of the neighborhood in January. Its new location at 1116 Main Street will be its only full-service bank branch in OTR.
 
Currently, U.S. Bank has two locations downtown, but they’re not very accessible for OTR customers. The branch on Procter & Gamble Plaza is hard to get to and parking is scarce; the one on Court isn’t visible from the road. Main Street is much more accessible for customers, whether they’re walking or driving, says John Fickle, senior VP and regional manger for U.S. Bank.
 
The staff of the Main Street location will be familiar to those who bank in OTR because they will move from the old locations. The new branch will provide customers with much more than teller services.
 
“We’ll have the opportunity to help customers with all of their banking needs and have the ‘know your customer’ conversation,” says Fickle. Customers will be able to discuss mortgages, life insurance and loans with U.S. Bank’s bankers.
 
The bank's investment extends to the renovated historic building into which it will move and set up its 3,000-square-foot office. The new location provides the access U.S. Bank has wanted for years, says Fickle, in a building that fits both bank and customer needs.
