Football Friday Night Comes Alive Bank partnership with FHLB unites community


2022 marks the Federal Home Loan Bank System’s 90th anniversary. People’s Bank of Seneca congratulates FHLB Des Moines on reaching this milestone and is proud to celebrate our partnership with you. Tis partnership is felt by nearly every corner of every community we serve, from families to businesses to the school districts.

Te Seneca Indians football team kicked off its season with a new field because the entire town wanted to be part of the project. I was humbled, excited and proud of the community I love. Tat’s what community banks do. We show up. We get things started. We are committed. Perhaps the biggest strength of People’s Bank of Seneca is having the unique ability of recognizing and meeting the needs of our customers.
