Since then, Fifth Third has secured approximately 80% of its upcoming locations. This expansion will shift Fifth Third\u2019s branch location mix, and the Bank anticipates approximately 50% of its branches will be in the Southeast by the end of 2028. Today\u2019s opening is the first of 15 financial centers planned across Alabama over the next three years \u2013 10 in Huntsville and five in Birmingham \u2013 to build a strong market presence and the foundation for top-tier deposit share in both cities.<\/p>\n<p>\nFifth Third\u2019s focused approach to organic growth is yielding strong, measurable outcomes. Branches built between 2022 and 2024 are averaging over $25 million in deposit balances within the first 12 months after opening, significantly outpacing expectations. The bank projects deposit growth of approximately $15 billion to $20 billion over the next seven years, driven by continued expansion and maturation of Southeast branch investments.<\/p>\n<p>\nHuntsville is one of the fastest-growing cities in America, with an average of 11 people relocating to the area every day (according to the U.S. Census Bureau). The growth is fueled by expanding aerospace, defense and technology industries, earning Huntsville the nickname \u201cRocket City.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cHuntsville is the perfect launch pad for our entry into Alabama, given the community\u2019s emphasis on innovation,\u201d said Shawn Niehaus, head of consumer banking at Fifth Third. \u201cOur financial centers offer cutting-edge financial solutions with a differentiated customer experience to create deep, long-lasting relationships. At our core, we\u2019re a relationship bank, and our connections to our customers and our communities are critical to our success. We\u2019re excited to welcome new customers and embed ourselves in the fabric of the local community. By striking a deliberate balance between forward-thinking innovation and deep community investment, we aim to build a stable foundation where progress benefits everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nFifth Third\u2019s expansion strategy leverages data and analytics to meet customers\u2019 banking needs \u2013 from data-driven site selection to innovative branch design. The Bank developed a proprietary Market Strength Index (MSI) and a patented geospatial heat map that pinpoints optimal branch locations within each city. This award-winning tool performs trillions of calculations on thousands of data points to identify new locations that are positioned for long-term success.<\/p>\n<p>\nFifth Third\u2019s rapidly growing retail footprint supports a complimentary digital and in-person customer experience that bonds customers to the bank. Fifth Third harnesses data and analytics to ensure every customer touchpoint is personalized, informed and productive. Fifth Third\u2019s flagship Momentum Banking product combines customer-centric, technology-led innovation and development and was recently recognized by J.D. Power as the No. 1 banking mobile app for user satisfaction among regional banks.<sup>1<\/sup> With features like Early Pay, free overdraft protection, SmartShield\u00ae (security protection) and free estate planning, Fifth Third Momentum Banking provides digital solutions that go beyond everyday banking needs.<\/p>\n<p>\nWhen deeper conversations are needed \u2013 whether about financial planning, investing or life milestones \u2013 customers can meet face-to-face with a dedicated banker at their local financial center. The redesigned centers feature open, welcoming layouts with modular seating and localized design elements that foster more meaningful conversations. Behind the scenes, Fifth Third utilizes proprietary AI-powered software to enable bankers to give more personalized, relevant guidance, boosting customer engagement by 40%.<\/p>\n<p>\nFifth Third is laying the foundation for a network of financial opportunity in the state through perfectly placed branches and community engagement. The Bank will bring its brand to life through community-rooted marketing activations across Rocket City, beginning with a grand opening celebration at the MidCity financial center in September.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cOur Southeast expansion over the past decade demonstrates a thoughtful, disciplined growth strategy that prioritizes exceptional customer service and ongoing community investment,\u201d said Jamie Leonard, chief operating officer of Fifth Third. \u201cOur approach ensures we build with purpose \u2013 establishing density in the right places to meet customers where they are while making a positive impact on the local community. As Alabama continues to grow, we\u2019re committed to being a trusted financial partner for those who now call it home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nLearn more about Fifth Third\u2019s entry into Alabama at <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.53.com%2Falabama&amp;esheet=54306827&amp;newsitemid=20250812367381&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=53.com%2FAlabama&amp;index=1&amp;md5=d1bd279179fcd7657cf27896954ec362\">53.com\/Alabama<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>About Fifth Third<br \/>\n<br \/><\/b>Fifth Third is a bank that\u2019s as long on innovation as it is on history.
