Top 5 Small Business Lender in Arkansas

I’m proud to announce that Peoples Bank has been ranked in the top 5 small business lenders in Arkansas. This ranking reflects the amount of small business loans (less than $1 million) that were made in relation to the overall loan portfolio. I’m very proud to have extended credit 564 times, totaling over $44 million to the small businesses in our community. Our towns and the state would not be the same if it were not for community banking. It is notable that the largest banks in Arkansas do not focus on small business lending to the same degree that community banks do. This achievement is a testament to the unwavering commitment Peoples Bank has made to supporting local businesses and fostering economic growth in our communities.
