PITTSBURGH — A year after regulatory filings revealed that SSB was adding a branch in Greenfield, the doors will open the first week of December.

The debut is significant because it’s only the third location for the privately held community bank and not just a departure from its North Side/North Hills footprint but entering a neighborhood where some of the region’s largest financial institutions have pulled out.

The location, 4028 Beechwood Blvd., is in a retail plaza near Squirrel Hill and Oakland, east of downtown Pittsburgh.

SSB originally expected the Greenfield branch to open in March or April. J. Daniel Moon IV, SSB’s president and CEO, said it took longer than anticipated due to the city’s permitting process. Moon has led SSB since 2009.
