ServisFirst Bank clients, prospects, directors, and supporters,
Earlier this month, Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) collapsed and Signature Bank soon followed. What does this mean for the nation’s finance industry? While it’s easy to panic, I believe these situations are an anomaly and serve as a reminder of why it’s important for financial institutions like ServisFirst to continue to take proactive steps to protect themselves from potential risk. 

At ServisFirst Bank Nashville, we’ve been reminding our clients just how different we are from SVB and Signature Bank. Banks like ServisFirst have more traditional business models with well-diversified client bases, well-capitalized balance sheets and excellent credit quality, which exposes them to less risk. Middle Tennessee’s banking industry is strong, and the area’s banks are the best and safest places to be. 

Read on for details about our recent recognition as a top bank in America by Forbes, a spotlight on our talented female leaders in honor of Women’s History Month, a commercial banking upgrade update, and more.

Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or comments.

Thank you for your continued support.
