Parkside Expands Capabilities with Trust Administration Powers in Colorado

Denver, CO — [Monday, December 1, 2025] — Parkside Financial Bank & Trust (“Parkside”) is pleased to announce that it has been granted trust administration powers in the state of Colorado. This approval enables Parkside to fully serve clients in both of its core markets—Colorado and Missouri—with a complete range of fiduciary and wealth management services. 

With trust powers now established in Colorado, Parkside can directly administer trusts, estates, and other fiduciary relationships within the state. This expansion strengthens the firm’s ability to deliver comprehensive, locally based financial solutions to families, individuals, and business owners in both markets. 

“We are thrilled to bring our full trust and estate capabilities to Colorado,” said Curtis Searcy, President, Trust & Family Office. “Colorado and Missouri are the foundation of Parkside’s growth, and this milestone allows us to offer consistent, high-touch fiduciary service to clients across both regions.” 

Parkside’s increased capabilities also reinforce the firm’s commitment to cultivating strong, local relationships. By serving clients directly within Colorado, Parkside is able to understand the nuances that matter in the community, respond quickly when needs arise, and provide hands-on fiduciary guidance shaped by a deep understanding of client goals. This local presence ensures clients receive personalized attention, thoughtful communication, and support from a partner who is truly invested in their long-term success. 

“Securing trust powers in Colorado is a natural next step in Parkside’s growth story,” said Dawn Bitton, Senior Vice President and Trust & Family Office Rocky Mountain Market Leader. “We’ve built our reputation on deep, lasting relationships and a culture of service that puts clients first. Expanding our fiduciary capabilities into Colorado ensures that our clients will experience Parkside’s personalized approach to trust administration and wealth management—delivered with the same care and attention that define everything we do.”
