NEW ORLEANS – Fidelity Bank officials hosted an informal ribbon-cutting ceremony on Feb. 14 to commemorate the opening of a new branch at The Rink Shopping Center in the Garden District.
The renovated 2,100-square-foot space at the corner of Prytania and Washington streets will focus on personal banking. A full grand-opening ceremony with the New Orleans Chamber of Commerce and city officials is planned for March 22.
The new Fidelity branch joins other New Orleans local businesses in The Rink, including Still Perkin’ coffee shop, realtor Eleanor Farnsworth and the Garden District Bookshop.
“Our new Garden District location has a distinctly New Orleans feel with a heavy focus on neighborhood banking,” said Fidelity Bank President and CEO Chris Ferris in a press release. “We’re committed to building relationships throughout the area we service, and our entire banking team is excited to add this new location Uptown.”
The Rink’s history dates back to 1884 when it was built as a roller rink and attraction for visitors to the Cotton Exposition. Founded in 1908, Fidelity Bank is a mutual financial institution chartered by the state of Louisiana with $1 billion in assets. Visit www.fidelitybank.com.
