Event summary

Pinnacle Financial Partners ranked No. 16 on the 2026 PEOPLE’s Companies that Care list, marking its seventh appearance and second consecutive year in the top 20.
The ranking is based on over 1.3 million employee survey responses and data from companies representing more than 7.3 million employees in the U.S.
Pinnacle also ranked No. 12 on the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For® list in 2026.
The firm operates with $129.1 billion in assets and has a presence across nine states following its merger with Synovus Financial Corp. in 2026.

The big picture

Pinnacle’s consistent ranking as one of the best companies to work for underscores its strategic focus on employee satisfaction and community engagement. As regional banks face increasing competition and regulatory scrutiny, maintaining a strong corporate culture could be a key differentiator in attracting clients and talent. The firm’s $129.1 billion asset base and expanded footprint post-merger position it as a significant player in the Southeastern U.S. banking sector.
