“We’re excited to open our fifth branch location in Upstate South Carolina as we continue to grow in the region,” Andrea “Andy” Bunn, vice president of Truliant’s branch network, said. “We look forward to building new relationships with Mauldin residents and showing them how a Truliant membership can support their financial goals.”

Mauldin and the other four branch locations are part of an expansion strategy along the I-85 corridor in the Upstate market. Truliant plans to open additional branches in the region later this year.

Truliant has had a physical presence in the Upstate for almost three decades. The Upstate is the fourth regional concentration of Truliant branches. The others are the Charlotte-Metro area, North Carolina’s Piedmont Triad and southwestern Virginia.
