Financial Partners believes a critical component of distinctive service is people, but
also includes innovative approaches such as courier deposit pick-up and system support Pinnacle Financial Partners (PNFP-NASD) was founded
in March 2000 and opened for business in October 2000. Pinnacle offers a full-range of
banking, investment, and insurance products targeted at small and medium-sized businesses
and their owner/managers. The founders of Pinnacle Financial Partners set out to create a
new financial services firm that would be like no other with a vision of becoming the best
financial services firm and the best place to work in Nashville. Pinnacle Financial
Partners’ mission is to provide extraordinary products, services and advice to
clients, enrich employees personally, professionally and financially and to make a
significant positive impact on the community while creating outstanding long-term value
for shareholders. “Banking is still a people business, so the
most important ingredient of providing distinctive service is ensuring that you have a
workforce that is excited, engaged and capable of providing excellent service.”
Offers Mr. M. Terry Turner, president & CEO of Pinnacle
Financial Partners, “There are other components to our
distinctive service, such as a courier deposit pick-up system. We go to commercial
clients’ locations to pick up their deposits and bring them to the bank. That has
been an outstanding component of our service equation and it is different from what the
large regional banks do. Additionally, we are blessed by the fact that when we started the
company in the year 2000, we started with state-of-the-art systems, which are all online,
real-time, Oracle database systems. The point of that is, the information that we are able
to provide clients is real-time and so robust that the quality of information they are
able to retrieve from our company is far superior to what they can receive from a large
regional bank and most community banks. Distinctive service takes on a number of
components, the most critical of which is people, but also includes innovative approaches
to distribution such as courier deposit pick-up and state-of-the-art system support.”
Asked to explain the financial advice side of Pinnacle, Mr. Turner
says, “There are several things that are important in terms of
how we go about distinguishing ourselves in the area of effective advice. The first and
most critical is the quality and caliber of people that we have hired; we call our client
contact associates “financial advisors.” The financial advisors at Pinnacle have
on average about 22 years of experience as a banker or a broker. Their sheer level of
experience would indicate that they have worked with a myriad of clients in a variety of
financial situations, have had the opportunity to learn first-hand what does and
doesn’t work, and therefore are capable of offering effective advice.”
Addressing investors, Mr. Turner states, “There are a number of reasons that Pinnacle makes an attractive
investment; number one is that we are located in Nashville, which is a high growth market.
The most recent census data shows Nashville as the 18th fastest growing major
metropolitan market in the United States over the last decade. It was the fourth fastest
growing in terms of per capita income.” Pinnacle Financial Partners’ goal is to provide
a different financial experience by offering distinctive advice and unparalleled service
to each of its clients. A number of Pinnacle’s senior financial advisors provide
comprehensive wealth management services to help clients protect and distribute their
assets The Learning Center provides information and insights on a variety of
financial service subjects from its seasoned professionals on topics of interest. The most
important part of any personal financial plan is the advisor that helps clients make
decisions. That's why virtually every Pinnacle financial advisor has at least ten
years of banking experience and can assist with checking and savings accounts, money
market accounts, lending, investment services, insurance, financial planning and wealth
management services. Pinnacle provides superior client solutions from advisors who
understand each client’s business needs. They provide their business clients
with a variety of corporate accounts and cash management services including automated
