## Who are FB Financial Corporation (FirstBank)'s competitors, and what are the alternatives?

FB Financial's 2025 10-K, filed February 26, 2026, says FirstBank competes with commercial banks, credit unions, mortgage firms, online mortgage lenders, online deposit banks, digital banking platforms, brokers and insurers, and with super-regional, national and international institutions with offices in its markets, and that banks entering its metropolitan markets will keep raising competition. It operates 90 full-service branches in Tennessee, Alabama, Kentucky, Georgia and North Carolina. Nashville holds 36.1% of its deposits, and there it ranks 6th with a 5.1% share (June 30, 2025). The banks ahead of it in Tennessee are larger: First Horizon has 137 Tennessee banking centers, Regions 194 Tennessee branches, Truist 98 (5th by Tennessee deposit share), and Nashville-based Pinnacle had 50 Tennessee offices before merging with Synovus in January 2026. In Alabama and Georgia, added with Southern States in 2025, it meets Regions (184 Alabama and 117 Georgia branches) and ServisFirst. In mortgage, a separate segment, its 10-K names online mortgage lenders, and Renasant's mortgage division locked $611.6 million in Q2 2026. The non-bank rivals it names are online deposit banks and digital platforms: Chime had 10.4 million active members in June 2026, and Block lists banks among Square's competitors for small businesses.

## What does FirstBank say about its competition?

"We conduct our core banking operations primarily in Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, and North Carolina, and compete in the commercial banking industry primarily through our wholly-owned banking subsidiary, FirstBank. The banking industry is highly competitive, and we experience competition in our market areas from many other financial institutions. We compete with commercial banks, credit unions, savings institutions, mortgage banking firms, online mortgage lenders, online deposit banks, digital banking platforms, consumer finance companies, securities brokerage firms, insurance companies, money market funds and other mutual funds, as well as super-regional, national and international financial institutions that operate offices in our market areas and elsewhere." ([FB Financial (SEC filings)](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1649749/000164974926000012/fbk-20251231.htm))

"In addition, a number of out-of-state financial intermediaries have opened production offices, or otherwise solicit loans and deposits, in our market areas. Increased competition in our markets may result in the Bank experiencing reduced loans and deposits, as well as reduced net interest margin and profitability. Furthermore, our markets have grown increasingly competitive in recent years with a number of banks entering our markets, with a primary focus on the metropolitan markets. We believe this trend will continue as banks look to gain a foothold in these growing markets." ([FB Financial (SEC filings)](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1649749/000164974926000012/fbk-20251231.htm))

From "Our markets" in the same 10-K: "We compete in these markets with national and regional banks that currently have the largest market share positions and with community banks primarily focused only on a particular geographic area or business niche." And: "Our robust offering of products, services and capabilities differentiate us from community banks, and our significant local market knowledge, client service level and the speed with which we are able to make decisions and deliver our services to customers differentiate us from larger regional and national banks." (2025 Form 10-K, filed February 26, 2026.) ([FB Financial (SEC filings)](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1649749/000164974926000012/fbk-20251231.htm))
