Loans and eligibility
Not yet verifiedWe read 3 pages of this lender's website on 3 Nov 2026 but could not confirm any loan product, loan size or service area there, so we list nothing rather than guess. That doesn't mean it lacks them. Check www.pbmag.com or contact the lender directly.
Questions to ask when you contact them
Based on what their website said when we read it on 3 Nov 2026, and what it left out. Something missing here does not mean they don't offer it: ask.
- What kinds of loans do you make, and which one fits what I need?
We have no loan details from their website. - Do you lend where I live, or where my business is?
- What are the smallest and the largest loans you make?
- What interest rate and fees should I expect? For a personal, car or home loan, ask for the APR.
- What documents will you need from me, and how long does a decision usually take?
Write down the answers, who you spoke to and the date, and ask for the terms in writing before you sign.

Balances are loans outstanding on the report date, not loans made during the year, and they include loans the bank bought. Shares are of gross loans and leases. The change over the year includes loans gained through mergers or bought from others. A category with no balance does not mean the bank never makes that kind of loan; ask the bank.
How it compares
Computed from public data| Measure | This lender | Compared with |
|---|---|---|
| Total assets (Call Report, 30 Jun 2026) | $195.9 million | Larger than 32% of the 25 other certified banks and bank holding companies in Arkansas (median $296.6 million). |
| Loans as a share of assets | 78% | Median of the same 25 banks and bank holding companies: 73%. A higher share means more of its balance sheet is lent out. |
| Loans held, 30 Jun 2025 → 30 Jun 2026 | $158.3 million → $151.9 million (-4%) | Median change of 25 other certified banks and bank holding companies in Arkansas: +6%. Rank by loans held among these 26: 12 → 19. |
How these comparisons were worked out
| Measure | Peer group (this lender left out) | Peers | Where this lender sits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Call Report total assets | other certified banks and bank holding companies in Arkansas | 25 | larger than 32% |
| Loans held then vs now | certified banks and bank holding companies in Arkansas reporting both dates | 25 | rank 12 → 19 of 26 |
“Larger than X%” = the share of the peer group with a smaller value. Ranks count from the largest. Peer groups use the lender's home state when it has at least 5 peers, otherwise the whole country. Full definitions: methodology.
For comparison, not an offer and not a rating. Past records show what this lender did, not what you would be offered. Peer groups and sources: methodology. Assets and loans: FFIEC and NCUA Call Reports (see the loan-mix section).
SBA loans approved
SBA data as of 30 Sep 2026The SBA's public loan data lists 1 SBA-backed approval for PEOPLES BANK in fiscal years 2020–2026 (October 2019 to September 2026):
- 1 504 projects as the third-party (first-lien) lender
By fiscal year: FY2020 0 · FY2021 0 · FY2022 0 · FY2023 1 · FY2024 0 · FY2025 0 · FY2026 0.
By program
- 504 projects (as the third-party lender) (1, 100%)
How this lender was matched in the SBA files: 504 third-party lender name: same name, state and city (SBA lists “The Peoples Bank”).
Approved is not the same as paid out: an approved loan can be reduced or never drawn. SBA lists the lender each loan is currently assigned to, which can differ after a merger or loan sale. PEOPLES BANK may also make loans outside SBA programs, which are not counted here, and SBA Microloans are not in these files. For 504 projects, the CDC amount is the SBA-backed portion and the third-party lender amount is that lender's own first-lien loan.
