Peoples State Bank is a driving force in the community of Jeffersonville in Twiggs County, helping fund economic development and furnishing the financial services for area businesses and families.
The past year was filled with strong growth and continued community support for the bank. Customers and community members alike frequently comment about the beautiful new appearance of our facility, which underwent a major renovation.

The successful implementation of a new bank operations system allows our staff to offer additional products and services to our valued customers. We have grown customer participation in Internet banking, cash management products, home equity lines of credit and mortgage lending. While our bank now has the state-of-the-art products and services available at many modern financial institutions, we retain the personalized customer service that people in Twiggs County appreciate from their hometown bank.
Our focus remains on our most important asset: our customers. To show our appreciation for their continued support, and to raise awareness of the bank in Twiggs County, we launched a monthly customer appreciation day. This ranged from preparing refreshments for customers and holding drawings for boxes of chocolate and Easter baskets, to delivering a fruit and chocolate basket to residents of a local senior care facility.
We also welcomed a new officer to our team, B. Kay Howell, who became the bank’s executive vice president and chief operating officer. Kay brings 21 years of banking experience, which includes her previous position as a regional retail manager at another bank prior to joining our team.
We continue to serve our wonderful community by supporting several local organizations, including the Twiggs County Booster Club, the Twiggs County Department of Children’s Services and Twiggs Academy. Our officers are dedicated to being involved in community affairs. For example, Mae Starley, a senior officer, was appointed to the Twiggs County Economic Development Board.
Growth, customer satisfaction and teamwork will be our focus as we tackle future challenges. We will continue to serve the local community while expanding our reach into the adjoining counties that make up our market area.
With hard work and community support, the staff of Peoples State Bank anticipates a bright future.
— Bruce D. Jones, Interim President
