  • Two banks close their Indian Land branches

    Ongoing growth and a presence in the most densely populated part of the county isn't enough to keep two Indian Land banks from closing shop, at least for now.

    South Carolina Bank and Trust in Suite 100 of the Shoppes at 521 at 9789 Charlotte Highway is closing Nov. 21. 

    First Citizens Bank of South Carolina will close its branch in SouthEnd Plaza at 7580 Charlotte Highway on Dec. 23.

    Officials with both banks said a lack of customer traffic at the branches played a role in their decisions to close.
