Studio Bank is a small community bank based in Nashville, Tennessee. It focuses on serving creative and entrepreneurial businesses, including people who work in the music, entertainment, and media industries. It offers standard banking services like checking accounts, loans, and deposits, but targets clients in Nashville's well-known creative economy.

The bank makes money the traditional way — it earns interest on loans and collects fees on banking services. It operates primarily in the Nashville area, making it a highly local and concentrated business. With a market cap of around $100 million, it is a very small bank. Its niche focus on creative industries gives it a differentiated identity, but that same concentration is also a risk — if Nashville's entertainment economy slows down or larger banks aggressively target the same customers, Studio Bank could struggle to grow its thin profit margins.
