Back in 1925, Evolve Bank &Trust got its start as First State Bank in Parkin, Arkansas. At the time, Parkin was a bustling rural town relying on two large lumber operations and a railroad connecting it to surrounding areas. It was one of those lumber yards that brought a key figure in Evolve's story to Parkin. In 1912, Agnes Hammill Park and her family moved from Michigan to Parkin to help operate the Lansing Wheelbarrow Company's local office.

Today, it has eight locations throughout Memphis and Arkansas. Every business has a great story, and we're proud to work with Evolve Bank!

Bankers like Angela Conner make a difference for the clients we serve. As Senior VP of Community Development at Truist, she knows a lot about the communities we serve. And, because we can’t clone her, we’d like to find more bankers like her!

We’d love to have more banks and bankers join us in making a difference. DM us if you’d like to learn more.

We think it's important to know as much as possible about the folks who are helping you with your business loan. Our friends at Builtwell Bank have been helping customers for more than 118 years. Since opening its doors as Marion Trust and Banking, it has experienced great growth; however, its focus on customer service has never changed.

Today, Builtwell Bank is the largest locally owned, multi-market community bank in southeast Tennessee and northwest Georgia. We're proud to partner with them.
