Customer-Centric Business Banking Center Expands Mid-State Footprint
Nashville, TN – First Advantage Bank has expanded into Williamson County, opening its second Nashville-area business banking location in less than a year.
The new site, located at 1212 Murfreesboro Road (Highway 96) in Franklin, TN, is a strategic move by the Clarksville-based community bank to continue growing its commercial lending presence in Middle Tennessee and deliver a high-tech, streamlined, and deeply personalized banking experience.
The local team specializes in commercial lending, private banking, and wealth management but also offers retail products and services for personal accounts.
“Williamson County is extremely important to our vision and growth strategy. The proximity to Nashville, unique demographics, and healthy commercial activity aligns perfectly with our business model,” said Earl Bradley, First Advantage Bank CEO.
“We offer a better small business banking experience that should be a welcomed opportunity for entrepreneurs who are looking for a local partner to help them grow their businesses and manage their investments,” stated Bradley.
First Advantage Bank fully renovated the standalone facility to support a modern, customer-centric banking experience, said Bradley, and expects the high-traffic location to give it some additional visibility in the competitive Franklin market.
The local team is led by Brian Bishop, Vice President and Business Banking Relationship Manager. He is responsible for all branch production, loan and deposit growth, and customer experience.
Bishop previously served as Assistant Vice President and Branch Manager for US Bank in Nashville and has also worked with Wachovia/Wells Fargo and InsBank.
Blake Scurlock is Assistant Vice President and Universal Banker II. Scurlock joined First Advantage Bank from US Bank and has also been with Regions. He has experience in lending, customer service, and branch operations.
In addition to the Nashville and Franklin locations, First Advantage Bank operates five full-service banking centers in Clarksville. For more information on First Advantage Bank and its business banking, personal banking, and mortgage products and services visit www.firstadvantagebanking.com.
