Local community members and elected officials will officially welcome Florida Community Bank Financial Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: FCB), as the company hosts the grand opening of its new Fort Lauderdale banking center on Monday, October 17 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Local community officials in attendance will include Fort Lauderdale Mayor Jack Seiler, 2016 Chamber of Commerce Chairman Heiko Dobrikow, and 2017 Chamber of Commerce Chairman Keith Castello, who together, will commence the ribbon cutting at 10 a.m.

The Rio Vista banking center is Florida Community Bank’s second full-service branch in Fort Lauderdale, following the August opening of its 632 S Federal Hwy. location, which served to further expand FCB’s footprint in the South Florida market. Special incentives and offers will be available to guests and members of the community at the grand opening event, as well as a ‘meet and greet’ with the Rio Vista FCB banking center team and complimentary food and beverages.

“We are proud to provide our loyal personal and commercial banking customers within the Fort Lauderdale community with another convenient, full-service branch location offering our full complement of financial products and services,” said Kent Ellert, President & CEO of Florida Community Bank. “Our newest banking center continues to support our vision to provide Florida businesses and individuals with both convenient banking center locations, and access to the same robust financial services and products as those offered by the national banks.”
