“We promise our associates a great place to work and our clients a great place to do business. They go hand in hand, and we’re delivering on a scale no one else can,” said Terry Turner, Pinnacle's president and CEO. “If you look through this list of nearly 100 banks, you’ll see a lot of strong community institutions. What you won’t find are any of Pinnacle’s peers or major competitors. Not one bank on this list is anywhere near our asset size, proving that our firm offers something no one else can. We can meet nearly any need a client could have, but we also cultivate a tight-knit culture where associates feel like family. That combination of a community bank environment with the resources of a much larger institution is unique to Pinnacle.”
