When local banker Curtis J. Myers looks at Philadelphia and Baltimore, he sees larger versions of Lancaster County â each is a collection of communities and neighborhoods that would benefit from community banking.
And, as chairman, president, CEO and chief operating officer of Fulton Bank, heâs been in a position to do something about it.
Lancaster-based Fulton opened three branches in Philadelphia in 2019, to be followed by another this year and another next year. Baltimore, which also has three Fulton branches, likewise is scheduled to get another this year and one more next year.
âWeâve found that there are many more similarities between those neighborhoods and communities (in the big cities) and the ones we currently serve, than there are differences,â Myers said.
