Platinum’s main focus is on new home lending and refinancing options.

Platinum started in 1998 in Nashville under the brand Platinum Financial Group under the direction of president and owner Chris Payne. Now owned by Chris Payne, Matt Hamilton and Brandon Born, Platinum is located at 1913 Gunbarrel Road, Suite 111.
