Peoples Bank makes the smallest typical loan among similar banks, $95,000, and leads Parkersburg-Vienna, ranking 1 of 111 lenders there in 2025.
Small loans across a broad mix
Similar lenders are state member banks making between half and twice as many loans. Its typical loan was $95,000 against $200,000, the lowest among them, and only 0.4% of its loans were jumbo (larger than the conforming limit) against 3.3%. Refinancing was 31.6% of its loans, purchases 29.9% and home improvement 28.1%; manufactured homes were 7.6% against 0.7%.
Far more LMI lending than similar banks
LMI (low- and moderate-income) borrowers took 41.2% of its loans against 26.8%, higher than nearly all similar lenders, and 25.2% were in LMI areas against 15.1%. Only 4.5% were in majority-minority areas against 11.3%; its largest markets include non-metro Ohio and non-metro West Virginia, which could account for that.
Higher-priced loans follow its product mix
4.8% of its loans were higher-priced (a rate well above the average for similar loans) against 1.3%, and its typical rate was 7.24% against 6.81%. Manufactured-home loans, 7.6% of its lending against 0.7% at similar banks, are often priced higher and could account for most of that difference; its home-improvement lending, 28.1% of its loans, and its small loans could add to it.

Originations rose 15% to 2,202, against 2% for similar lenders and 10% for the whole market. In Lansing-East Lansing, which it entered in 2025, it ranked 16 of 333 with 1.2%, and in Parkersburg-Vienna it held 9.9%, about the same as the 10.0% of a year earlier.
