SMITHFIELD, NC – KS Bank is expanding its community-focused brand of banking to Lillington, NC. The bank recently purchased property at 709 W. Front Street in Lillington, where it intends to operate the new branch. KS Bank has received regulatory approval from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and is pending approval from the North Carolina Commissioner of Banks to operate the new branch.
KS Bank’s expansion into Lillington is led by two Harnett County natives: Mark Eason, Commercial Relationship Manager, SVP, and Travis B. Bailey, Chief Administrative Officer, EVP. Eason’s deep experience in the local market and Bailey’s leadership emphasizes the bank’s strong commitment to the community.
Bailey shared, “KS Bank is thrilled to have Mark Eason on our lending team. Mark and I both grew up in Harnett County, so we understand what matters most to our neighbors. Mark’s strong relationships and community involvement, along with my own dedication to local organizations, means we know how to support Lillington’s families and businesses. Coming back home to Lillington and Harnett County with KS Bank’s brand of community banking is an honor for both Mark and I. Our local insight will help us shape KS Bank’s services and community outreach to truly make a difference here.”…
