Former CertusBank exec Scott Frierson tapped as Upstate leader
A coastal South Carolina bank announced plans this week to expand to the Upstate. CresCom Bank has hired banking veteran Scott Frierson as its executive vice president and Upstate market leader and plans to open a location in Greenville.
Frierson has 22 years of financial experience within the Greenville market, including three years as president of Carolina First Bank, which was acquired in 2010 by TD Bank. Most recently, he served as S.C. state executive and director of business banking for CertusBank. Frierson will be responsible for developing relationships and providing overall direction, guidance and support in Upstate activities for CresCom.
“We’re pleased to expand our footprint within South Carolina by entering into the Greenville marketplace,” said David L. Morrow, CEO of CresCom Bank. “It’s an important opportunity for us, and Scott’s background gives us great confidence as we move into the Upstate.”
CresCom’s website URL and slogan of “have a nice bank” is “more than just a slogan, but a commitment to service,” according to the company’s website.
