MEET YOUR MISSOURI BANKER Where are your main bank and branches located? What is the market like? Peoples Bank & Trust is headquartered in Troy. We have nine branches total (soon to be 10) located in Lincoln, St. Charles and Pike counties. We serve a variety of markets, from rural, agriculture-based towns to some of the fastest-growing areas in Missouri. What is something unique about your bank? We recently celebrated 100 years in business. How did you get started in the banking business? My first job in banking was as an assistant manager for one of the large national banks. What is the most important thing you have learned from this career so far? I’ve learned a lot about people in general. There are a lot of different personalities out there, and a lot of different expectations among customers and employees. In this business, you need to know how to talk to everyone and understand what’s important to them.
