United Carolina Bank plans to
consolidate its 138 N. Main Street
walk-up office in Raeford with its
main office at 207 S. Main Street
at the close of business on Friday,
March 16.
United Carolina Bank has
previously offered to give the
building that houses the walk-up
office to Hoke County for use in
conjunction with the Sandhills
Community College.
The bank has previously receiv
ed approval from the North
Carolina State Banking Commis
sion to accomplish this consolida
tion.
The walk-up branch is a limited
service office and has provided
only teller services since the new
main office was opened in
September of 1979.
Bob Conoly, Raeford City Ex
ecutive for United Carolina Bank,
said the bank has plans underway
to enlarge the drive-in facility at its
Sunset Branch which is located
one-half mile from its Main Street
office.
Conoly also acknowledged plans
to increase parking facilities at the
main office.
The 24-hour teller machine
which was installed at the main
branch in March of 1983 has also
been favorably received by the
community.
All these strategies are part of
United Carolina Bank's overall
plan to improve banking services
to the Hoke County community,
Conoly said.
R.E. Kizer, Jr., Banking Group
Executive of United Carolina Bank
said, "Rapid changes taking place
in the banking industry, including
escalating interest cost brought
about by newly deregulated
deposit accounts, make it
necessary for banks to review their
service delivering systems. We
believe that we must take steps
such as some branch consolida
tions in order to hold down
operating expenses; these steps are
taken in order to continue to pro
vide service to all of our customers
as economically as possible."
United Carolina Bank is review
ing the entire branch system and is
taking similar steps where con
solidations can be made w ithout an
undue inconvenience to customers,
Kizer said.
