Synovus, Pinnacle Financial Partners celebrate relocated Lehigh Acres office with ribbon-cutting

Firm donates $5,000 to Lehigh Acres Community Services

LEHIGH ACRES, Fla., Nov. 3, 2026 - Synovus, which merged with Pinnacle Financial Partners, celebrated its relocated Lehigh Acres office at 1269 Homestead Road North with a ribbon-cutting Oct. 21. The full-service office sits next to the firm's previous location, giving individuals, families and businesses a more modern place to bank in the same familiar area.

"Our team lives and works in Lehigh Acres, and we see tremendous opportunity here," said Barbara Morejon, office leader for Lehigh Acres. "This office gives us more room to sit down with clients, listen to what matters to them and connect them with the expertise they need. Even as we change names in 2027, we're available, responsive and ready to help."

The new office features upgraded teller technology, private meeting spaces and interactive tools designed to make banking more convenient and efficient. The space provides more room to connect clients to broader capabilities and specialists across the firm.

"A beautiful office matters, but it's the team that welcomes you, listens and follows through that makes the difference," said Cheryl Lake, Pinnacle's area manager for client services in Southwest Florida. "This investment reflects confidence in Lehigh Acres, our team and the relationships we will continue building here."

Morejon leads a team of six financial services professionals at the office. Lake and Morejon were joined at the ceremony by Michael Walker, Pinnacle's South Florida group executive, and Michael Solomon, manager of go-to-market effectiveness, along with clients, community partners and local leaders.

As part of the celebration, the firm donated $5,000 to Lehigh Acres Community Services, a nonprofit that provides emergency services to residents.

The office currently operates under the Synovus name and will transition to the Pinnacle Financial Partners brand in 2027. Clients will continue to work with the same local team, with enhanced resources and expanded capabilities in the new Lehigh Acres office.

The lobby is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday. The office also offers an ATM and a drive-thru, open from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday.
