Prairie du Chien, WI – Peoples State Bank is pleased to announce they will be opening a branch in Waukon, IA on April 3, 2023. This will be Peoples State Bank’s third branch in Iowa. In making this announcement, Board Chairman Tom Farrell said “This reflectsour keen interest in expanding further into NE Iowa and we have always enjoyed close business ties with many in the Waukon area. Thus, when an opportunity to establish this office presented itself, we jumped at the chance.

Remodeling of the office space is well on its way and we are excited to open the doors at 802 W Main St Suite 102 to the public. The Waukon location will be a full-service bank with local deposit operations supported by two customer service representatives, loan support staff, and four Loan Officers. Lesa Moose, Retail Branch Manager and Crop Insurance Manager, expressed “I’m excited to be banking in Waukon again and serving familiar faces with their financial goals and every day money matters. Peoples State Bank has the products to meet our customer’s needs and I look forward to introducing those products to the community.” Dennis Lyons, Ag Relationship Manager-VP, adds “We’ve assembled a well-known and respected team who live in Allamakee County.

communities that Peoples State Bank has passionately served for over 100 years.
