Pinnacle Financial Partners, Inc.
A regional bank holding company based in Nashville, Pinnacle Financial Partners offers checking, savings, and lending through its Pinnacle Bank subsidiary, serving everyday consumers and businesses across the Southeast. It was born in 2000 after out-of-state buyers took over Nashville's last large local bank, First American, prompting three of its former executives to found a locally owned alternative. The trio famously designed the new bank on a literal blank sheet of paper, and the name "Pinnacle" reflects their aim to reach the top of the industry.
