The full-service banking center features four teller stations, two drive- up video teller stations, a drive-up ATM, and a night depository. The South Lyon banking center is open Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Susan Benfante, a 33-year veteran with Comerica, manages the banking center. She is a resident of Canton.

"The growth and economic strength of Oakland County made our decision easy," said Mike Aust, senior vice president of Comerica's retail division. "Roughly 45 percent of all small and micro businesses in the state are in Oakland County and some 22 percent of the state's middle market companies are based there as well. Over the past five years, population in the county has remained steady with roughly 13 percent of the state's households.

"While competition for business and consumer financial services is fierce in the area, our focus on relationship banking - knowing our customers, providing comprehensive products and services, and making it fast and easy to bank with us - is the reason Comerica's growth in Oakland County will continue to be successful."

Comerica currently has 62 banking centers in Oakland County. A new Comerica center is slated to open in February. The Rochester Hills center will be located at 1412 North Rochester Road.

Comerica Incorporated is a financial services company headquartered in Detroit, strategically aligned into three major business segments: the Business Bank, the Retail Bank, and Wealth & Institutional Management. Comerica focuses on relationships and helping businesses and people to be successful.
