Pinnacle Bank offers 16 consumer accounts that interact with estate planning in distinct ways. Of those, 14 can name a trust as beneficiary or be retitled into a trust. Understanding the transfer methods available for each account type helps families keep assets out of probate and ensure they pass to the right people.
At Pinnacle Bank, beneficiary designations are managed in branch and by phone. Accounts can also be retitled into a trust to keep them out of probate entirely.

Pinnacle Financial Partners completed its $8.6 billion all-stock merger with Synovus Financial Corp. on January 2, 2026, creating a $117.2 billion asset Southeast regional banking leader with approximately 400 offices across 9 states. The holding company is headquartered at 3400 Overton Park Drive, Atlanta, GA 30339, with banking operations headquartered in Nashville, TN. During the transition period, customer-facing banking continues under both the Pinnacle and Synovus brands, with system and brand conversions expected in the first half of 2027 (likely around the beginning of Q2 2027). Account numbers, mobile apps, and product names may change at conversion -- Pinnacle has stated it is too early to confirm specifics. Pinnacle customers have immediate free access to Synovus ATMs during the integration period. Until conversion, Pinnacle offices cannot process Synovus transactions and vice versa. Existing Synovus account numbers and access remain active during the transition. Branch closures are expected to be minimal due to limited geographic overlap.
