Angela McKenzie
100% hands down the best customer service I’ve ever received at a bank! Every single person said hello, introduced themselves and made sure to call me by my name. Other banking institutions need to take some notes!

Cade Black
Had my People’s bank app give me an alert that a purchase was trying to go through in Dallas but I wasn’t there. Before I could even say that wasn’t me, the app denied it and I was able to deactivate my card. Kim Duncan was able to help me in the process and got me my new card. Definitely love the quick response time here.
