JPMorganChase says it plans to triple the number of branches in Alabama and hire an additional 170 bankers by 2030 as part of the firm’s broader efforts to increase access to financial services across the state.

The expansion will bring the total number of Chase branches in Alabama to 35, putting more than half of the state’s population within an accessible drive time to a Chase branch.

Chase says it plans to open branches across the state in communities from Mobile to Montgomery and Muscle Shoals.

Chase opened its first Alabama branch five years ago near Auburn University. There are currently seven Chase branches in Greater Birmingham and 11 statewide, including Auburn, Tuscaloosa and Huntsville.
