Community

Giving back to our communities is who we are.

To our team, being a community bank means much more than just doing business locally. It means being involved, getting out into the communities we serve, and making an impact where our customers and employees live.

Whether it's education, economic development, civic activities, health and human services, or culture and the arts, supporting non profit-organizations is part of good corporate citizenship. Each year we give financial support to support community development programs. Our employees offer their hands and hearts to mentor young people, support community celebrations, serve on boards of local nonprofits, and help raise awareness for important causes. Peoples Exchange Bank representatives visit schools throughout the year teaching students about the importance of savings and making smart financial choices. Participating in volunteer initiatives enables our employees to give time to make the most impact in the communities we serve. Our employee volunteers dedicate hundreds of hours every year to making our communities stronger.

Additionally, through the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati (FHLB Bank) we are proud to offer grants under the Welcome Home Program to help members of our community with low or moderate incomes purchase a new home.
