The national bank hosted a grand opening of its first Mississippi branch at the Highland Village Shopping Center on I-55 North Frontage Road Tuesday. Lee Mahan, director of banking for Chase branches in Mississippi, said the expansion into Jackson is part of a 10-state push to become the first bank with branches throughout the contiguous United States.
The branch held a soft opening on June 8. Branch manager Cesar Vielman said new and existing customers are excited about what the branch has to offer.
The Highland Village branch is the first of several planned for the area. At least two more branches are scheduled to open within the next 12 months: one in Ridgeland and another in Flowood. A fourth branch is also in the works, Mahan said.
