MENDENHALL, MS (June 28, 2012)—ICBA Independent Banker®, the award-winning magazine of the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) and the nation’s number-one source for community banking news, recognized Peoples Bank as an outstanding “ICBA 400” community bank in its June issue. 

 “The community banks highlighted in this year’s ICBA 400 exemplify the mission of community banking by reinvesting locally in their communities and making them a better place for their customers to live and work each and every day,” said Chris Lorence, ICBA executive vice president and chief marketing officer.  “We commend Peoples Bank for their ongoing dedication to the positive mission of our great industry.”

This year’s ICBA 400 shows that the overall performance of community banks across the country continues to steadily improve since the Wall Street financial crisis.
