Pinnacle Financial Partners is still the fourth-largest bank in the Chattanooga MSA in terms of deposits, according to new data from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).

Two years prior, Pinnacle held $648 million, or 6.68 percent of market share.

“It’s all about the team for us,” said Craig Holley, Pinnacle’s Chattanooga chairman. “The people we’ve brought together to serve our clients in Chattanooga are the very best in the city. We recruited them to deliver on Pinnacle’s promise of distinctive service and effective advice, and they have done so. We’re grateful to our city for trusting us with their finances.”

All three banks that ranked higher than Pinnacle on the list lost both deposits and market share, some by a significant amount.
