The Peoples Bank proudly stands as Knox County’s only locally owned and operated community bank. Our foundation is built on a community of local people making local decisions—a principle that has earned us a 5-Star Superior rating from Bauer Financial Services for more than 30 years. At The Peoples Bank, we’re committed to maintaining the strength and stability that our customers rely on, now and into the future.
From our humble beginnings in 1920, The Peoples Bank in Gambier has been a cornerstone of the community, offering trusted banking services to Kenyon College students, local merchants, and residents seeking convenient, hometown banking. Originally capitalized with $25,000 and 95 shareholders, we’ve grown to incorporate a full range of services while maintaining our local presence in Knox County. Led by dedicated individuals like “Banker Brown” and Margaret Kunkel, who embodied our ethos of being “For the People,” we’ve navigated milestones such as robberies and architectural changes to adapt to modern banking needs. Today, with a focus on personalized service and community commitment, we continue to evolve, embracing technology while remaining true to our motto: “Small Enough to Know You, Large Enough to Serve You.” As we look to the future, we remain deeply rooted in our community, dedicated to providing superior service to our valued customers. We invite you to join us on this journey and make The Peoples Bank your trusted financial partner for years to come.
