  • 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 and trust & 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 Banking division to $1.1 billion in assets and our Trust & Family Office assets under management to approximately $2.7 billion.

    Voted a Top Workplace in St. Louis for 5-years running, we are proud to build a growing team of Smart, Likeable, Entrepreneurial and Dependable employees and interns.

  • Parkside Financial Bank & Trust’s summer internship program is designed to give students meaningful, hands-on experience by engaging them in the daily 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 each rotation, interns will meet with their individual mentor and will be walked through the various functions of each department.

    Interns can also look forward to attending company social events, 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.

    Overall, this program equips students with valuable industry experience and insights they can carry forward into their careers and adult lives. Interns will build foundational knowledge of the finance industry while sharpening essential skills in business acumen, collaboration, and time management.
