Great relationships start here.

PeoplesBank has been locally based since 1885 and is the largest community bank in Hampden and Hampshire counties. As a mutually chartered bank, we are driven by the needs of our customers, our employees, and the cities and towns of this area.

We take pride in providing our customers with the kind of personal service and attention that only a local, independent bank like ours can deliver. PeoplesBank has the strength to help you meet your financial goals with a wide array of products and services. Through our multiple full service offices, our own independent ATM network, and online banking we offer a combination of convenience, personal service, and banking products to meet the needs of our customers.

PeoplesBank is committed to supporting the charitable and civic organizations within the region. We encourage our employees to volunteer their time and leadership skills to organizations in the area, and through our charitable giving program, we provide financial support to many non-profit organizations and programs to enhance the overall quality of life in our communities.

Great relationships do start here and we enthusiastically look forward to serving you.

Sincerely,
Douglas A. Bowen
