Terry Turner, Pinnacle's president and CEO. "Coalition Greenwich data show us leading the pack in virtually every measure of client satisfaction and therefore seemingly best positioned to continue winning new business away from our competitors. We have built a people-first approach to 'high touch and high tech' banking, and it’s yielded these demonstrably different results. I am incredibly proud of our team and ready to continue building on our long-standing momentum."
