Lists put Pinnacle on top in Tennessee

Pinnacle Financial Partners is one of the best and top performing banks in America, according to two separate lists released in 2022. The firm recently earned the No. 14 spot on the S&P Global Market Intelligence performance ranking. Earlier in the year, Forbes published a list of America’s Best Banks, with Pinnacle at No. 22. Both rankings are by far the highest of any other banks headquartered in Tennessee and higher than any locally based banks in North Carolina or South Carolina.

“This recognition is gratifying and, we believe, the natural progression of our focus on culture, associate experience and client service,” said Terry Turner, Pinnacle’s president and CEO. “Those elements are essential to our strong financial performance, and these strong, national rankings reinforce our belief that investing in people and culture is the path to our success.”

S&P Global Market Intelligence

The outlet ranked financial performance of U.S. banks with more than $10 million in total assets that are also traded on the NASDAQ, NYSE or NYSEAM.
