Donations included door prizes for the annual “Ladies Only” putt putt tournament as well as numerous monetary donations and miscellaneous fundraising efforts.

Bank History
In 1972, a small group of Sevier County residents gathered at the Mountain View Hotel in Gatlinburg to develop a new financial institution. Sharing in the vision of promoting prosperity in a rapidly growing area by encouraging and assisting new and existing businesses as well as providing the highest level of customer service was the original focus as well as the continued driving force of Tennessee State Bank. Now, over 36 years later the bank still stands firm on this foundation and continues to reflect these core values and goals.
Tennessee State Bank’s achievements over the last 36 years have been exceptional as well as gratifying. We have always been proud to be a pioneer in our industry by being the first to offer the latest in banking products and services to benefit our friends in the communities we serve. As technology changes, so do the needs of our customers. Tennessee State Bank will always be willing to bring the community the latest technology without compromising our hometown and friendly service that our customers have grown to know and expect.
As we grow and integrate, we will continue to maintain our focus on the original vision of the founders: to keep customers our priority, to stay active in the communities we serve, and to offer attractive products and services. We strongly believe to maintain these same standards we must strive to expand our customer service beyond the walls of our bank. Continued support of local charities and civic organizations during the year by volunteering our time to provide financial expertise and education or to raise any needed money for various causes are simply a few of the ways we can continue to expand civically in our communities.
2008 brought new opportunities and growth to Tennessee State Bank as we expanded to Jefferson City and Newport. Turkey Creek is now the 15th branch in East Tennessee and the 3rd in Knox County.
Tennessee State Bank is locally owned and operated. Our founders set high standards of excellence for the organization, its operations, and its people in 1972. As we continue to observe the founding standards, our bank continues to grow. We currently have over $700 million in assets and have been voted Best Bank in Sevier County for the past five consecutive years.

Local Girl Scout Troop Earns Money Badge at Tennessee State Bank
Local Girl Scout Troop #901 recently visited Tennessee State Bank for a tour and financial education.
The girls were provided a full access tour of TSB’s corporate office where they were given a themed tour called “The Many Hats of Banking.”
“Each department has a different hat to symbolize how it contributes to the bank,” says Robin Kurtz, Marketing Director for Tennessee State Bank. “For example the Board Room has a train engineer hat because the Board of Directors and the President help to steer the direction of the bank.”
The girls were also given the opportunity to go into the vault and see the money and learn about how it is received and distributed to the many different branches. They also had some class time and were given small workbooks that Kurtz went through with the girls in order for them to receive their money badge.
“I was very impressed with this group of young ladies. They asked some great questions and I think they came away with a better understanding of how the bank works,” concludes Kurtz.
“As a community bank it is important that we reach out to our customers in any way we can. School or group tours are great because it gives us an opportunity to teach children how the bank works,” adds Todd Proffitt President and CEO of Tennessee State Bank.
Any teacher or group leader interested in touring the bank can call 453-0873 and ask to speak with Robin Kurtz. Tennessee State Bank has been serving Knox and Sevier Counties since 1972. Two new branches opened in 2008, expanding the bank to Jefferson City and Newport. Turkey Creek is now the 15th branch in East Tennessee and the 3rd in Knox County. They currently have over $700 million in assets and have been voted Best Bank in Sevier County for the past five consecutive years.
