Parkside Financial Bank & Trust is a privately-held institution with a uniquely fresh perspective on banking in today’s post-merger era – one focused on creating unparalleled simplicity in today’s increasingly complex financial environment.
Our leadership team – Jim Wagner, Matt Wagner and Andrew Hereford – has more than sixty years combined experience serving a wide variety of clients from what’s typically considered the middle market segment of the financial services industry. As they witnessed more and more middle market institutions changing hands over the past decade, it became increasingly apparent to each of them that the region could benefit from the creation of a new type of independent financial resource with a less bureaucratic, more integrated way of doing business.
This opportunity to establish a more agile bank for the owners of St. Louis businesses and their families provided the soon-to-be leaders of Parkside all the inspiration they needed. Fast-forward to this moment, and the results speak for themselves. Today, our absolute commitment to making every decision right here in St. Louis continues to create a win-win scenario for us and, more importantly, for our clients.
