Peoples State Bank opened for business on December 14, 1914. Ironically it was the collapse of another bank that set the stage for the founding of Peoples as well as the National Bank of Wyalusing which, decades later, would be destined to merge with Peoples.

Peoples State Bank's first office was located at the corner of Church Street and Main Street in downtown Wyalusing. In 1966 the bank moved to a new building on Church Street, constructed on the site of the Wyalusing School. Peoples State Bank and the National Bank of Wyalusing merged in 1985 and an expansive two-story addition was necessary to bring the bank under one roof.

Donald E. Abrey joined Peoples in 1986 as President and CEO, and made keeping pace with technology a priority. Peoples began operating in a real-time environment, which means transactions are posted at the time they are presented and verified by a receipt including the current available balance. Customers have the choice of accessing their account information by visiting one of our nine convenient offices, by calling Peoples InfoLine, or by using eBanker through the internet. Peoples also offers seven-day-a-week full-service banking at the Route 6 office in Wysox, PA.

In 1998 Peoples Financial Services was formed. The Financial Services Department continues to make planning for the future easy with a variety of investment and insurance options to meet every need.

As products and services increased, more employees were added to staff and space was becoming a serious problem. In 2004 a new facility was opened at the east end of Wyalusing Borough allowing Peoples State Bank to continue its mission of serving the area as a true community bank.

In 2005, Peoples added the Alternative Lending Division to an already extensive list of services. The Alternative Lending Division helps customers acquire mortgage financing when they would not otherwise qualify for a loan under standard underwriting guidelines.

On June 1, 2007 Joseph R. Joyce, Jr. was named President and CEO of Peoples. Mr. Joyce believes the work done by his predecessor, Mr. Abrey, gives Peoples a strong local community platform to build on for the future. Taking care of the customer and supporting the communities we serve will result in good long-term returns for our shareholders.
