Pathway Lending started back in 1999 with a simple goal: to make a difference where it’s needed most. Since then, we’ve funded over $587 million into communities, helping small businesses grow, creating affordable housing, and backing energy projects that build a stronger, brighter future. For us, this work isn’t just business—it’s personal. Every loan, every project, every entrepreneur supported brings us closer to a more inclusive Tennessee, where everyone has an opportunity. 

When you join Pathway Lending, you’re not just joining a team—you’re becoming part of a mission that’s as big-hearted and determined as the people we serve. If you’re passionate about making a real impact, we’d love for you to be a part of our story.

For me, the meaning comes from the people I work with, both clients and colleagues. When you're surrounded by folks who genuinely care about what they’re doing—and whose motivation comes from within—it makes even the tough days okay and the good days feel incredible. There’s a lot of purpose in the work itself but being around people who are fully committed to helping our client’s success just deepens it. It's a great reminder of why I do what I do.

Financial institutions and creativity are probably not commonly associated, but creativity is what I like most about working at Pathway. The clients and communities we work with need creative financial solutions to overcome the hurdles they face. Pathway is a workplace where we are encouraged to think outside of the box to help those we serve and to expand the areas we can serve.

      Impact In Action

      Little did we know, our Pathway team would bring a wealth of knowledge to the table and introduce alternative ways of thinking when managing our business.
      Cathy Allen, Crescent Sock Company

      I’ve worked with other companies, but with Pathway, I felt like I wasn’t just getting a loan. I could call anytime with questions, and someone would be there to help. That’s rare.
