The Journey… Peoples Bank
Service you Expect…People you Trust
To fill a niche for a hometown financial institution, Peoples Bank was established in 1998 to provide our community with a locally owned financial partner. Since opening we have become the “Hometown” Bank of choice, making Peoples Bank one of the fastest growing independent banks in the Midwest.
The success Peoples Bank has enjoyed is due in part to the wonderful community we are fortunate to work with and the truly loyal customers that are fundamental to our achievements. We are special because our customers are special to us, and so we are continually striving to improve our service to them.
Just as important are the people who are involved in the day to day functions of the bank, who create an environment that makes banking a pleasure. We pride ourselves on being a locally owned bank, with a staff that is involved in the community, making us Community Servants…Community Minded. The bank has grown on a solid foundation of our leadership and their philosophy. That philosophy is based on being locally owned with community decisions, and the money staying local to support our communities.
Since our beginning, we have gone from a start up bank to one of the largest banks in Warren County. As we are a maturing bank, we have recognized the need for expansion and have added new locations to better serve our communities. We have grown from eight employees and one location to 40 plus employees and four locations. We have added some new products to fit customer needs and expanded customer service. In the process we’ve added Peoples Bank locations in Carlisle, Milo and Lacona. Milo and Lacona were added in September of 2001 and the Carlisle branch opened in February of 2003.
We are excited about our new Indianola location. In October of 2004 we opened our new building on Iowa Avenue. As we continue to look to the future, we are excited to begin construction of our new branch bank in Carlisle. We look forward to the future as we continue to invest in the communities we serve.
While many other banks are being bought or sold, we continue to be personally committed to ensure that Peoples Bank remains an independent financial institution. Our ownership is what makes us unique — we are large enough to provide the innovative products and services you want; yet small enough to know you by name. Our commitment provides existing customers, future customers and the communities with the financial stability that is so important in this day and age. Our number one goal is to provide superior personal service.
At Peoples Bank, we are proud of our communities and the success the bank has enjoyed. We see much opportunity ahead, but it is not possible without the quality customers we are now so fortunate to serve. We look forward to growing with our customers and always striving to improve our banking services. With strong leadership provided by our board, comprised of admired community members, and an exceptional service minded staff, we look forward to being a part of this and the surrounding communities’ promising futures.
Thank you for visiting our Internet Branch site, stop in anytime to experience the bank that delivers “Service you Expect… People you Trust.”
