Conveniently located near key landmarks, new branch improves service for Hialeah customers
MIAMI, Oct. 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — First American Bank is relocating their Hialeah branch from 611 W 49th Street Hialeah, Florida to a newly designed location at 1437 W 49th Street. “The new branch provides a place to house our growing team and better support our customers with the personal attention and comprehensive financial services they deserve,” said Guillermo Diaz-Rousselot, market president of First American Bank in Miami.
After more than 40 years in Hialeah, the bank purchased this new location – just a few blocks away – cementing its presence in the Miami community. The branch will open its doors on Monday, October 21, 2024, with Ismael Manuel Gil as vice president and market manager.
“The great part about this move,” shared Gill, “is that we will be more centrally located and closer to Westland Mall, Miami Dade College and the Palmetto Expressway, making it more convenient for current customers and further increasing our appeal to new ones.”
As a leading financial institution with more than $7 billion in assets, First American Bank is committed to helping customers move forward with confidence by providing personalized assistance and supporting community development. “This new location allows us to enhance our customers’ banking experience, including providing personalized solutions, business referrals and account opening services for foreign nationals,” Gill added.
The Florida branch network is led by Rodolfo Lleonart, Executive Vice President, and is supported by a diverse team of professionals, including Brian Hagan, Florida Market President for Commercial Lending; John Olson, executive vice president of commercial real estate; Carina Valido, Vice President and Private Client Advisor for Wealth Management; and Joel De Jesus, SBA Assistant Program Manager for SBA Loans.
“We are proud to continue to provide banking services and solutions to the Hialeah community that we value so much,” said Lleonart. “We look forward to seeing our valued customers and guests visit our new branch location.”
