CorTrust Bank is increasing its presence on the south side of Sioux Falls.

The family-owned bank is building a branch at 7135 S. Santa Rosa Court, which is along Cliff Avenue south of 69th Street.

It will replace a branch in a retail center at 57th Street and Cliff that the bank has operated for about 15 years.

“We’re pretty excited about having a different location down here,” president and CEO Jack Hopkins said. “It will give us quite a bit more space. It’s a great place to be. We’ve just outgrown it.”

With 5,900 square feet, the new branch will include a drive-thru teller window and drive-up ATM.

“We’re going to have full service; our mortgage department will have a presence there, our commercial and retailer bankers will be down there, potentially a wealth management person and maybe an insurance person,” Hopkins said. “So we’re hoping to have it as one of our bigger full-service branches.”

The plan is to transition from the old branch to the new one in early July.

“It will have more flexible workspaces in it, but otherwise it will be fairly traditional as far as a bank branch goes but obviously more modern and up to date with our equipment and ability to serve our customers.”
