Pinnacle Opens Two Loan Production Offices in Memphis

Financial advisors have started work in Whitehaven and Raleigh

Pinnacle Financial Partners has opened two new loan production offices in Memphis, extending service to areas of the city where the firm hasn’t had a presence before. One serves the Whitehaven community at 4403 Elvis Presley Boulevard, and the other serves Raleigh at 2235 Whitten Road.

“These offices bring us closer to communities that previously didn’t have easy access to Pinnacle services,” said Herman Strickland, head of Pinnacle’s client advisory group in Memphis. “Our goal is to support small businesses and home ownership from these offices and also to build on the incredible momentum we have in the market.”

The Whitehaven office occupies more than 3,000 square feet in a retail building just a mile and a half from Graceland. The team there includes office leader Tracy Mitchell-Ellis and a team of small business and mortgage advisors. The office also includes a learning center, a signature feature in many Pinnacle offices, which will be used for workshops and seminars on financial topics and is also open for community use.

The Raleigh office is in a shopping center just off Isaac Hayes Memorial Highway. A team of financial advisors will serve mortgage and small business lending needs with office leader Zaundria Ingram.

“Whitehaven and Raleigh are communities that deserve a strong bank that can give access to financing for entrepreneurs and homeowners,” Strickland said. “That’s a role we are ready to fill, and we have already begun.”

Pinnacle Financial Partners provides a full range of banking, investment, trust, mortgage and insurance products and services designed for businesses and their owners and individuals interested in a comprehensive relationship with their financial institution. The firm earned a place on FORTUNE’s 2017 and 2018 lists of the 100 Best Companies to Work For in the U.S., and American Banker recognized Pinnacle as the sixth-best bank to work for in 2017.

Pinnacle has served Memphis since 2015 when it acquired Magna Bank. Since then Pinnacle has become the official bank of the Memphis Grizzlies and FedExForum and was named a “Top 10 Company to Watch in 2017” by the Greater Memphis Chamber.

The firm began operations in a single location in downtown Nashville, TN in October 2000 and has since grown to approximately $22.2 billion in assets as of Dec. 31, 2017. As the second-largest bank holding company headquartered in Tennessee, Pinnacle operates in 11 primarily urban markets in Tennessee, the Carolinas and Virginia.
