Bank of Beleville


Kevin M. Pesko, President

What are the two greatest opportunities Bank of Belleville envisions that will increase the bank customer base and community profile in 2009?

One notable high point occurred in 2008 when the readers of the Belleville News Democrat voted Bank of Belleville as the “Best Financial Institution.” A consistent high level of service by experienced professionals created buzz in the community resulting in this award.

We continued our annual tradition of sponsoring the popular horse-drawn trolley for Belleville’s downtown holiday shoppers. Our staff once again worked after hours several November evenings to create “Santa’s Bank” for the annual Gingerbread Contest. It was one of the many edible creations that are displayed in businesses during the holiday season in downtown Belleville. The tradition recalls Belleville’s heritage with many buildings in the mid-1800s featuring Victorian “gingerbread” architecture. In December, we were the lead sponsor for the first annual “Gingerbread Cookie Walk.” Approximately 200 residents and 24 merchants participated along the route, including Bank of Belleville, supplying each walker with a unique cookie creation. By all reports, it was a huge success.

Further evidence of our asset and manpower growth was the need to expand our facility. We added offices, work stations and much needed storage. As we look forward to 2009, we look to continue to cultivate our growing referral base and build our core customer base. We plan to be the best small community bank on “Main Street” in mid-America.
