January 6, 2020 - Republic Bank has brought Interactive Teller Machine technology to its new branch in New Port Richey. The newly opened office, at 10577 State Road 54, has ITMs that feature live customer service representatives available through real-time video. "The opening of this new banking center is just one way we make banking ‘easier’ for our clients through the combination of both bank lobby service and extended drive-thru service hours offered by our Interactive Teller Machine," Jim Kirkpatrick, Republic Bank’s Florida market president, said in a news release.
