Founders Matthew Wagner, James Wagner, Peter Frane and Andrew Hereford.
One spring, four different, but complementary, individuals 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. Throughout their extensive careers, they had recognized an under-served niche. To fill that void, 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.
