Fifth Third Bank, National Association, today announced that it
is hiring for nearly 1,000 positions in retail banking centers,
mortgage and operations across its footprint, including a
significant number in its Cincinnati headquarters market. The roles
provide essential banking services to customers and offer new
career opportunities for those searching for employment during
economic hardship.
“Our Fifth Third customers and communities need us more than
ever during these uncertain times, and we will continue to be here
for them,” said Greg D. Carmichael, chairman, president and CEO of
Fifth Third Bancorp. “I’m proud of the extraordinary service our
employees are providing each day. We are looking to grow our team
of professionals to serve these needs and to help provide critical
employment opportunities so our communities can get back to work
again.”
Open roles are available across Fifth Third Bank’s 10-state
footprint and include 500 positions in retail, 350 mortgage sales
and support positions and 100 positions in operations. Fifth
Third’s starting wage is $18 an hour and provides a comprehensive
benefits package to attract and retain its workforce. In addition,

to $1,000 in additional special payments, less applicable taxes,
deductions and withholdings. Candidates may apply at

To help slow the spread of the virus, Fifth Third has
transitioned some roles to remote work locations. Many of the
Bank’s customer-facing employees, however, continue to work on-site
to meet the needs of customers with enhanced social distancing and
protective measures in place. Fifth Third is continuing to adhere
to guidelines from health officials and the U.S. Centers for
Disease Control regarding social distancing and has enhanced
cleaning measures to its sites to help safeguard employees and
customers. To further protect retail employees and customers,
banking center lobbies are not open for general access. Customers
needing to conduct simple financial transactions are using
drive-thru services, digital solutions such as online or
mobile banking, or the Bank’s network of approximately
53,000 fee-free ATMs. If customers have more complex
financial service needs, they may schedule an appointment.
“We continue to take good care of our employees so they can
continue to take good care of our customers,” Carmichael said. “Now
more than ever, our customers are counting on us to provide them
with the financial expertise and essential banking services
necessary to navigate uncertainty.”
