An Award-Winning Community Bank
"It's our people who make a difference. Our commercial bankers have a significant level
of knowledge and experience as well an appreciation of what businesses owners need for
support and local decision-making from their bank. We learn the ins and outs of their business
and, over time, we become valued advisors and part of their team."
- David Ference, First Vice President, Commercial Banking
"Over the course of my career in banking, I have been through several mergers and acquisitions.
It's just painful for the customers and the bank employees. That's why I appreciate that PeoplesBank
is a mutual bank that will not be bought or sold. That's a relief to my customers as well."
- Gladys Ortiz, Assistant Vice President and Banking Center Manager, South Windsor (Opening Soon)
"One of the best parts of my job is meeting a business owner for the first time and hearing their
story. Maybe it's a family business that they have grown up in while helping to build it. Or it could
be a new venture that they are putting their heart and soul into. Either way, it's satisfying to work
with them over the years and recognize that you have made a positive impact."
- Jennifer Yergeau, Vice President, Commercial and Institutional Banking
PeoplesBank is an awarding-winning community bank with over 300 employees and 18 banking centers in
Connecticut and Massachusetts with an additional banking center opening this spring in South Windsor. Our
Commercial and Business Banking teams serve as an economic growth engine for business in the area, and
our Banking Center teams use the latest technologies to bring a frictionless experience to our customers.
