Comerica Bank has expanded its operations in the greater Los Angeles area, by opening a new full-service banking center in Beverly Hills. Debra Bradford, vice president of the bank has been named as the new manager of the Beverly Hills banking center.

The new banking center offers customers a range of financial services for individuals and businesses including banking, financial planning, wealth management, and investments. The new office has an ATM and a customer service center.

The bank said that it has 98 banking centers in California, including centers in Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego and San Fernando Valley. The Beverly Hills location joins three Comerica banking centers in the West side of Los Angeles. The bank added that a new Santa Monica banking center will join the cluster in 2010.

Rosie Mercado, district manager for Comerica Bank, said: “We continue to look for business opportunities in Los Angeles County’s high growth markets. This location supports our commitment to building close relationships with our customers, especially in the neighboring communities of West Los Angeles and Santa Monica.”
