Best Personal Checking Account Buford GA
At Peoples Bank & Trust, we take great pride in providing some of the most unique and personalized financial services. From small business loans to commercial banking, our team has helped dozens of customers find the perfect solution for all their financial needs. As we reflect on 2023, we’ve seen some remarkable improvements and are proud of our company’s notable highlights. Let’s take a look at some of our proudest moments:  
Building Revamp
First, we’ve completely remodeled our building! Our office and sitting spaces are newly furnished with modern styles and sleek presentations, from paint to furniture to artwork. We also have a new customer convenience bar with coffee and water if you need a quick pick-me-up when you stop by. Now, whenever you arrive at our building, you are greeted by an atmosphere that is as pleasant as our employees are.

Streamlined Website
This summer, we refreshed our website, peoplesbanktrust.com, with a custom design and new ways to learn about and interact with our company. From online/mobile banking to information on commercial lending and many resources, you now have an all-in-one website with everything you need.  
Retirees
Several seasoned Peoples Bank & Trust team members transitioned into their well-deserved retirement this year. Their contributions and expertise have significantly shaped our bank’s journey. As we continue our mission, we do so with gratitude, building on the solid foundation they’ve helped us establish.  
2023 Customer Appreciation Events
In a series of events this year, we celebrated our patrons with delicious offerings: A classic hot dog lunch on May 12th (which served more than 300 customers), a refreshing ice cream treat on August 4th (also enjoyed by more than 300 people), and a special day featuring The Varsity food truck on September 22nd that attracted more than 375 attendees. These gatherings were more than just food events; they were a testament to our strong community bond and sincere appreciation for our customers.  
Deposits
We are also pleased to report that our banking family is growing stronger, and your financial well-being is at the heart of it. Our deposits and loans have had notable increases with our growing customer base! In fact, our loans surged by 25%, and our deposits are up by $51 million, a 12% increase. This simply means continued stability and opportunities for you.   As we reflect on the milestones and memories we’ve created, Peoples Bank & Trust stands firm in its commitment to serving our community with unparalleled dedication and expertise. Our legacy is built on the trust and relationships we’ve fostered through the years, and we’re excited to usher in new chapters of growth and service.
