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 Bedford, New Hampshire, our dedicated team has grown our bank division to $950 million in assets and our Trust & Family Office assets under management to approximately $2.3 billion.
Voted a Top Workplace in St. Louis in 2019, 2021-2023, we are proud to build a growing team of Smart, Likeable, Entrepreneurial and Dependable employees.
Parkside Financial Bank and Trust’s internship program is built around providing students with hands-on experience participating in the day-to-day operations of each department within the company.
The internship is designed as a 10-week rotational program, approximately 35 hours per week, allowing interns to immerse themselves in each line of business.
Prior to beginning rotations, interns will meet with their mentors and be walked through the various functions of each department:
• Commercial Banking
• Family Office Services
• Trust Services
• 401(k) Plan Services
Interns can look forward to attending company social events, onsite client visits, a day of service and a meaningful capstone project presentation. Additionally, interns have the unique opportunity to learn about the history and unique culture of Parkside directly from our senior level executives.
Our internship program provides students with valuable experience they can utilize throughout the finance industry, and as they move into adulthood. Interns will cultivate key industry skills and knowledge, while also developing business acumen, collaboration, and time management skills.
