The expansion to twenty-eight Solution Centers increases the Banks presence in Miami-Dade and Broward County and begins their emergence into Palm Beach County.

Our seven new Solution Centers, including our first two in Palm Beach County, confirms the success of our brand, as well as, our belief that our unique approach to delivering innovative ideas and solutions in a relaxed environment will appeal to more and more South Floridians, said Great Florida Bank President and CEO Mehdi Ghomeshi.
