United Community Bank is strengthening its Metro Atlanta presence by adding its East Atlanta branch located at 1220 Caroline Street NE, Suite A-105. The branch opened on June 26 and features Atlanta’s second Interactive Teller Machine (ITM), with the first one being at United’s branch in Buckhead.

The East Atlanta branch is conveniently located approximately two miles from downtown Atlanta inside the Edgewood Retail District, a premier destination for one-stop shopping, dining and services. United now has two branches within the perimeter and 31 total branches in high-traffic areas across the Metro Atlanta market.

"We are thrilled to open another full-service retail branch inside Atlanta's vibrant perimeter,” said Doug Higgins, Atlanta Metro President for United Community Bank. “We are eager to extend our banking services to the heart of this dynamic community and provide personalized financial solutions for all of our customers.”

The new East Atlanta branch will not feature a drive-thru, but it will house an ITM that offers customers enhanced technology with a personalized touch by providing access to speak with a live banker. Customers can make many of the same transactions as they would inside a branch, including deposits, withdrawals and transfers. The ITM extends branch hours until 6 p.m. on weekdays and until noon on Saturdays, providing flexibility beyond normal banking hours.
