On my way to an appointment recently, I noticed that the Regions Bank branch in East Forest Plaza (the Wal-Mart shopping center at I-77) is now vacant. This is another sign of how banks are continuing to shed branches as more and more business is done over the Internet. I can see why this one was a candidate, as the place is rather hard to get in and out of. If you are not already going into the shopping center you might well think twice.

With the recent closure of the Sandhill branch, I believe this leaves Regions locally with only the main location on Gervais and a Harbision branch. Hmm, actually I don't see the Harbison location on their web site, so that may have closed too -- I'll have to take a look.

UPDATE 10 October 2017 -- Adding SouthTrust to the post title based on the comments. SouthTrust was acquired by Wachovia in 2004, so that would have been gone by 2005.

UPDATE 20 January 2021 -- This building has been torn down and something new is going up there now:

Also adding a map icon.

UPDATE 25 May 2021: The new building is now Time To Shine Car Wash:

  1. If I had a Regions account it would be very inconvenient to have to drive to Gervais Street . Especially if you have a commercial account and have to make daily deposits.

  2. Before this was a Regions branch, it was a SouthTrust Bank branch. I believe it closed when SouthTrust was purchased by Wachovia and became a Regions branch soon thereafter. The same is true for the (maybe former) Regions branch on Columbiana Drive.

  3. This building was recently demolished and something else is currently being constructed in its place.
