Ribbon-Cutting Ceremonies Galore!

Both branches are approximately 3,500 square feet, providing ample space for all the banking services that Chase has to offer.
A Decade in the Making
Can you believe this moment has been over a decade in the making? Chase Bank’s Market Director for the Chattanooga region has revealed that the opening is the result of thoughtful planning and dedication. Although Chase has had a presence in Chattanooga since 2012 with commercial banking offices, this marks the first retail branch in a city that is only growing in importance to the bank.

Whether you’re looking to buy a car, purchase a home, plan for education, or get your retirement game plan in order, the friendly staff at these branches is ready to help you every step of the way. Speaking of staff, the branches will initially employ around seven to eight local team members, including a financial advisor and business banking experts eager to lend a hand.
ATM Amenities and More
Need cash in a hurry? The Gunbarrel Road branch is equipped with three ATMs, while the Northshore branch offers two ATMs. It’s never been easier to access your money while on the go.
Committed to Community Support
Chase has made clear its commitment to supporting Chattanooga, announcing a generous $10,000 charitable contribution to Feeding the Future, a local non-profit organization dedicated to addressing food insecurity among children. This demonstrates Chase’s aim to not just be a financial institution but a partner in the community’s well-being.
Expansion Plans in the Air
Looking ahead, it seems Chase is not done yet. There’s talk about further expanding into areas nearby, like Brainerd, which could mean even more services and jobs for locals. They have ambitious plans to open over 500 branches nationwide and hire 3,500 employees by 2027! What a time to be part of the Chattanooga community!
The First of Many!
With its proud claim of being the first and only national bank with branches in all lower 48 states, Chase Bank is ready to serve approximately 900,000 customers daily. The new retail branches aren’t just a relief for existing customers but also an invitation for others in the community to discover all that Chase has to offer.
