"We've assembled a talented team of experienced bankers that are deeply committed to helping local businesses," Dellinger said in the release. "Their proven success in the Nashville area market, along with our strong operations team, will be the cornerstone that ensures we deliver an extraordinary customer experience."
Sonata will launch its platform for the QSR market in the second quarter of 2023.
"The QSR market has the highest employee turnover of any industry at 144%. We see an opportunity to reduce this turnover by serving workers' banking needs," Ferdowsi said in the release. "Far too many workers in our industry are unbanked or underbanked. It has really become both a business and personal mission to make a difference with this underserved segment of the market."
