First Bank, the banking subsidiary of First Bancorp, opened a new branch and office in Charlotte's SouthPark district on November 6, 2026. The expansion adds capacity in a market the bank identifies as important to its growth, according to PR Newswire.

New site targets Charlotte demand

The SouthPark location provides commercial and business banking, personal banking, lending and wealth-management services. The additional office space will also support First Bank employees serving clients across the Charlotte area.

For investors, the opening represents a physical expansion of First Bank's regional operating footprint rather than a change to the group's reported financial outlook. Management described the investment as part of its long-term commitment to Charlotte, while regional executive Andrew Griffin said the new site would give the team greater resources to serve clients.

Regional bank builds local network

First Bancorp owns and operates First Bank, a state-chartered community bank headquartered in Southern Pines, North Carolina. The bank focuses on tailored financial solutions for households and businesses and operates branches across North Carolina and South Carolina, according to the company's corporate profile. Its regional focus distinguishes it from larger nationwide banking groups, while its branch network gives it a broader presence than a single-market community lender.
