NASHVILLE, Tenn., May 14, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Truxton Corporation (OTCPK: TRUX), a financial holding company and the parent of Truxton Trust Company, announced that it has been recognized by American Banker as one of the top 200 best performing banks in the nation. Truxton Corporation has earned this recognition for eight consecutive years and is the only Nashville bank to make the list this year.

Andrew May, President and Chief Financial Officer, said, "We are honored to be recognized by American Banker.
