River Bank & Trust

March 2023 - Wine and Wisdom: Private Banking Manager, Sherry Coker, and the Coastal Region team treated local ladies to a guided wine tasting, insight from psychiatrist Dr. Christina Talerico, shopping, and a fashion show! It was a sampling of sips, style - and River Bank hospitality! Special thanks to their vendors: Stephanie’s Downtown, Harvest Jewels, Cabi, Wine Knot, Dillards, and Georgia Roussos Catering.

We are sad to see River Bank & Trust leave Fuse Factory and miss them every day but are so thrilled for their newly opened full service branch located at 118 North Royal Street. Go see them for all your banking needs!
