Old National Bank celebrated the opening of its first Metro Detroit-area commercial banking office in June with a launch event at the Detroit Athletic Center. The event introduced the Metro Detroit team, as well as the ONB executive leadership team, to clients attending from in and outside of Detroit.
“The team, many long-time friends, is tremendous and the response from the community has been fantastic,” Rick Hampson, Metro Detroit market president at Old National Bank, said. “We’re here, and we’re here to stay. Our plan is to build something really great.”
Metro Detroit joins other Old National markets in Michigan, including Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo.
“As a Midwestern bank with roots dating back to 1834, Old National is known for building long-term, highly personalized relationships with our clients while also strongly investing in the communities we serve,” Jim Ryan, CEO of Old National, said. “We are incredibly excited about the growth and vitality that are driving Metro Detroit forward today, and we look forward to being active, dedicated partners in that progress.”
Old National’s Metro Detroit market president Rick Hampson will report to George Bailey, the company’s Michigan state executive.
“What excites me most about this expansion is that we have the right team and relationships in place to serve this important market,” Bailey said. “This builds upon the great work we are doing with our clients throughout Michigan, and the move into Metro Detroit represents a natural growth progression for the bank.”
