Republic Bank Opens Banking Center in Crestview Hills

New Location Features Interactive Teller Machine

Republic Bank announced today that it has opened its 45^th banking center at 25 Town Center Blvd., Suite 101, at the entrance to the Crestview Hills shopping center off of Turkeyfoot Road in Crestview Hills, Kentucky.

This banking center is the first Republic Bank location to feature an Interactive Teller Machine (“ITM”) exclusively for client transactions. ITMs feature live customer service representatives available through real-time video, allowing for extended banking hours and greater convenience for bank clients.

With ITMs, clients can make deposits easily without an envelope or deposit slip, cash checks for exact change, and make loan payments. Transactions are processed the same day, even after regular banking hours. The Republic Bank ITM offers convenient banking access from 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on weekdays and on Saturdays from 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

“We are thrilled to open this new Republic Bank location in the Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky region,” said Tom Saelinger, Republic Bank’s Market President of Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. “With this location, we are in close proximity to St. Elizabeth Healthcare, Thomas More College, and other great neighbors. Our strong local team of Northern Kentucky bankers, led by Managing Director Jason Payne, is invested in the community and committed to taking care of our clients in this neighborhood.”

“We see the opening of this new banking center as a way to make banking ‘easier’ for our clients and enhance our successful community banking model in the Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky region,” said Republic Bank Chairman and CEO Steve Trager. “We look forward to helping businesses and consumers achieve their financial goals and extending friendly, local lending.”

Headquartered in Louisville, with 45 banking centers across five states, and $5.1 billion in assets, Republic Bank is the largest, locally owned community bank in Kentucky. Republic Bank entered the Northern Kentucky market in 2006 and has grown its Northern Kentucky footprint to $250 million in loans and $110 million in deposits.
