In 2007, four different, but complementary, professionals gathered to discuss a shared vision—assemble talented thought leaders to establish a financial institution that could breathe new life into business banking and wealth management. They founded Parkside Financial Bank & Trust: an independent financial institution with an integrated way of conducting business designed specifically to serve the needs of discerning families and privately held businesses. Parkside offers a uniquely fresh perspective on banking, commercial lending, trust and family office services. Our interactive partnership between our clients and our team drives success, builds legacies, and transforms businesses. This is what makes ours an Uncommon Partnership.
With offices in St. Louis, Missouri, Denver, Colorado, and a suburb of New Hampshire just outside Boston, Massachusetts, our dedicated team has grown our bank division to $1.1 billion in assets and our Trust & Family Office assets under management to approximately $2.6 billion. Voted a Top Workplace in St. Louis in 2019 and 2021-2024, we are proud to build a growing team that embrace our core values: Smart, Likeable, Entrepreneurial and Dependable. Join Parkside as we help our clients achieve financial success. Experience a rewarding career with robust benefits and professional growth opportunities, within a community of colleagues and friends.
