“We founded Pinnacle to be Nashville’s hometown bank,” Pinnacle’s President and CEO Terry Turner said. “We’ve grown parallel to and in partnership with our headquarters city for 24 years and are replicating that success in other high-growth Southeastern markets. The support from our communities, along with a competitive landscape that’s ripe for attracting clients from other regional banks, continues to allow us to grow rapidly and consistently over time.”
Pinnacle moved within striking distance of taking over the No. 1 spot in Tennessee with $858.1 million in deposit growth since June 30, 2023, for a total of $27.7 billion and 12.4 percent market share as of June 30, 2024. That’s the largest deposit total added within the state over that time period of any bank in the Tennessee.
Firmwide, Pinnacle grew deposits in 21 out of 27 MSAs measured by the FDIC, including 12 with double-digit growth and one with triple-digit growth. The firm grew share in 20 of those markets, taking a greater percentage of overall local deposit pools, at a time when competition for bank deposits has been incredibly fierce.
“Our associates have accomplished this with their tireless work to serve clients with a distinctive experience,” Turner said. “Every day our people demonstrate that Pinnacle provides a lot more than just an interest rate. JD Power has indicated that our net promoter score is literally the best of the largest 50 banks in the nation, with one of the highest rated digital banking experiences. Our people are experienced and empowered to meet their clients’ needs. And we’ve grown our capabilities into several specialized areas of deposits like escrow funds, public utilities and captive insurance. All of that together helped us significantly grow deposits in a difficult operating environment.”
