The TriStar Blog

Big banks may have a name you recognize, but do they recognize your name? At TriStar Bank, we take pride in being a community-focused local bank, where our dedication is centered on serving and supporting our clients and local communities. Understanding the key role of our team in this vision, we prioritize building a culture that boosts employee satisfaction and encourages long-term commitment. Recognition as one of the 2023 best banks to work for by American Banker magazine is a testament to this, with 42% of our employees enjoying an average tenure of over five years. Notably, our own team members referred seven of our new hires in 2023, underscoring our employee-driven culture.

This solid internal foundation has enabled us to extend our impact beyond the bank, actively engaging in and supporting our local communities. In 2023 alone, our team devoted 1,300 volunteer hours to over 500 activities and events across nearly 100 organizations.

Our local outreach efforts go beyond just volunteering. We are equally committed to helping community members reach significant life goals, like owning their first home. Over the past five years, we have been part of the journey for 200 first-time homeowners, helping them realize their dream of home ownership. This investment in personal financial growth within our community naturally extends to our broader charitable efforts.

Between 2020 and 2023, TriStar Bank contributed nearly $900,000 to charitable organizations. Major donations for 2023 went to:

• The Miracle League of Columbia
• Humane Society of Dickson County
• Lonesome Park
• The Well Outreach
• Leadership Middle Tennessee
• Fight DMD
• James K. Polk Historical Society
• Sonrisa Latin Resource Center
• Maury Regional Healthcare Foundation
• Promiseland Historical Society

Additionally, our Star Student Program has contributed over $7,500 to local students, rewarding them for academic excellence and perfect attendance. As we continue into 2024, our team at TriStar Bank is enthusiastic about building on our impact and exploring new opportunities to support and enrich our communities further.
