Nashville’s Local Bank | Fourth Capital

About Us

Built on the Principle of Mutual Benefit

A shared home, engaging people, an inviting place to gather, genuine interest in you and what you do, trust that time and familiarity create – this is what true personal service and real relationship banking is about. It’s what Fourth Capital is committed to. Our full-service, Nashville bank offers clients a range of custom products and services for both individuals and businesses. The team at Fourth Capital shares one common characteristic: the desire to serve our clients better than anyone else.

Our Story

We are Rooted in Tennessee History

Did you know Nashville is the fourth Tennessee state capital? Nashville follows Knoxville, Murfreesboro and Kingston. The name Fourth Capital alludes to our hometown’s history and represents a bank that will stand proudly on the Cumberland River greeting everyone who arrives at Music City for generations to come. Formerly Tennessee Bank & Trust, Fourth Capital entered the Middle Tennessee market in 2004 by establishing a branch in Franklin and then in Nashville in 2006. In July 2020, we opened our flagship location at Peabody Plaza in Nashville’s Rolling Mill Hill neighborhood.

At the Heart of How We Work

Long-Term Vision

Privately held and locally owned, Fourth Capital was built and continues to transform as a part of a generational vision.

Team Approach

At Fourth Capital, you don’t just have a relationship with a banker. You have a relationship with a bank. We operate as a team to provide more value to our clients with a level of service you just won’t experience anywhere else.

Digital Tools with Human Touch

We are currently experiencing the Fourth Industrial Revolution – a fundamental shift in how we live, work, and relate to each other through a combination of humans and technology. Another nod to our name, Fourth Capital is a bank that thrives and remains relevant through changing times.

Community Focus

Our bank is built on the idea that we only succeed when our client—the Middle Tennessee community—succeeds. This may sound strange, but our goal is not to make money. Rather, we are focused on long-term value creation for our customers where we achieve mutual benefit for everyone involved for years to come.
