We promise to be there when you need us.

We first opened our doors in 1874. Customers arrived on horseback and business was done with pen and paper instead of computers. Since then, we've gone through a lot of changes. And we've proudly served the financial needs of thousands of Middle Tennessee residents and businesses. What guides us? How have we grown? Our Purpose and History timeline offer some insights.

Our PURPOSE.

We will enhance the customer experience by serving the personal and business needs of our markets, providing superior customer service, investing in the communities we serve, and enriching the lives of our employees. We promise to be there when you need us.
