GREENVILLE, SC – United Community Bank is pleased to announce the newest addition to its Greenville team, Commercial Relationship Manager, Laura Hodge.

“Laura has an abundance of experience in successfully helping clients reach their financial goals, and we are proud to add her to our expanding team in the Upstate,” said Michelle Seaver, President of United Community Bank—Greenville County. “We are confident that her expertise and skills will be a tremendous asset to our Greenville office and the clients we serve.”
