Pinnacle was also the biggest deposit grower in Tennessee, holding the No. 2 spot statewide at June 30, 2025 with 12.94 percent market share—less than half a percentage point behind the leader and the only bank in the state’s top five to have grown share In the preceding 12 months. Such dominant growth shows that Pinnacle is the top choice for people seeking a local bank to trust with their finances.

“Pinnacle is and will remain Nashville’s hometown bank, and this data drives home just how much Tennessee trusts and relies on us for financial safe keeping,” said Pinnacle President and CEO Terry Turner. “We’ve worked for 25 years to build a track record of delivering unmatched local service, and our capabilities have grown substantially more sophisticated. It’s an experience that clients literally cannot get anywhere else and has proven effective everywhere we’ve taken it across the Southeast. We fully intend to continue delivering it into the next leg of this race.”

Firmwide, Pinnacle grew deposits in 23 out of 27 MSAs measured by the FDIC, including eight with double-digit growth and three with triple-digit growth. The firm grew share in 22 of those markets and was a top five grower in 15 of those.

“The power of our model to attract and retain the very best banking talent in every market is the engine for this growth,” Turner said. “Our significant investment in people pays off long-term as they bring their clients to us over time, adding deposits and loans to our balance sheet for years after their first day. That’s fueled core deposit growth at nine times the rest of the industry and five times our peers during the current rate cycle and why our model has proven to be sustainable through nearly any economic environment.”

Pinnacle hired 161 revenue producing associates in 2024 and another 71 in the first half of 2025. This model for rapid growth is one of the primary factors that led to the merger agreement between Pinnacle and Synovus, announced in July. The two firms will come together with similar cultures, complementary footprints, heavy investments in operational excellence and a banking model that will propel the combined firm to be the Southeast growth champion.
