Impact in Agility 

SIXTY YEARS AGO, PEOPLES STATE BANK OPENED ITS DOORS AS A 

BANK DESIGNED TO HELP PEOPLE WITH THEIR FINANCIAL NEEDS. 

IT’S WHY WE’RE NAMED PEOPLES STATE BANK. 

Our goal has always been to help our customers pursue their financial dreams. For six decades, Peoples 

State Bank has provided financial solutions to business owners, consumers, and home buyers. Putting 

people first in their financial pursuits keeps staff focused on providing excellent customer service. And as 

technology and customer needs change, Peoples is changing, too, providing multiple service channels no 

matter how customers choose to bank with us.

2022 GROWTH AND  
RETURN HIGHLIGHTS 
Our loan growth was strong during 2022, up 

$85.5 million, or 9.8%, and we achieved record 

PSB Holdings, Inc. & Peoples State Bank 

earnings of $3.07 per share on net income of 

$13.5 million. On December 31, 2022, total assets 

reached $1.34 billion, and total deposits closed at 

a new milestone of $1.15 billion. 

strong credit quality, which required no provision for loan  

losses during 2022 after expensing $1 million in 2021. 

Rising interest rates also reduced the value of our  

existing fixed-rate investment securities, with those  

unrealized securities losses recorded as a reduction  

to stockholders’ equity as part of comprehensive  

income, reducing net book value per share. However,  

unrealized security losses do not reduce net income  

unless they are sold prior to maturity and changes in  

Impact in Agility: a concerted effort 

to provide value to our customers in 

the face of changing markets. 

Opening our doors on Wausau’s 

west side in August 1962, was the 

first step in what has become a rich 

history of community banking. Sixty 

years later, most experiences in 

banking have changed, except our 

commitment to providing customers 

with excellent personal service. 

The nation’s economic growth stumbled a bit during

2022 as the Federal Reserve increased interest 

rates to contain rising inflation. These higher rates 

decreased home purchase and refinance activity, and 

our mortgage banking revenue declined $1.9 million, 

or 60.5% in 2022. In addition, the Small Business 

Administration’s pandemic-related Paycheck Protection 

Program (PPP) concluded in 2022, during which we 

recognized $360,000 of PPP origination fees, down 

significantly from $3.4 million recorded in 2021. 

Return on shareholder equity grew to 13.47% during  

2022 compared to 11.63% during 2021. Strong results  

permitted the company to again increase cash dividends  

declared to shareholders during 2022, which increased  

8.6% to $0.50 per share. The cash dividend rate per  

share has increased 56% over the past five years.

COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY

Financial Empowerment Fund approved our Peoples  

Balance Banking product under the BankOn National 

Account Standards designed to help provide financial  

stability to those who need assistance. 

We’ve also created a series of essential financial 

information blogs, which we’ve dubbed our Money 101

series. We want our customers to understand money,

bank accounts, and how their financial decisions can

impact their futures.

These new initiatives are in addition to the myriad of 

community involvement activities you’ve come to expect 

from Peoples and our employees, which you can learn 

more about on pages 6 and 7. 

We earned three significant honors in this year’s Wausau 

Daily Herald “Best of Marathon County” contest, finishing 

as the Best Bank, Best Mortgage Company, and Best 

Financial Planning Company by the newspaper’s readers. 

It’s the 11th year in a row their readers have voted us as 

the Best Bank in Marathon County, and the fourth straight 

communities we serve. Besides our monetary donation

LOOKING AHEAD 
Our Stevens Point loan production office, started in 

2017, now has $55 million in loans. We will expand 

this office to a full-service branch in 2023. The new 

site is being designed to include new technology to 

expand our customer service channels. 

Our new residential mortgage origination system 

brought us several benefits, including improved 

customer regulatory disclosures, increased  

customer self-service options, and staff efficiencies  

from fewer manual inputs and processes. Continued  

process efficiencies are essential for us to continue  

favorable expense and efficiency ratios to deliver  

competitive loan and deposit pricing. In 2023, we are  

updating our commercial loan origination system to  

provide faster approvals, fewer customer steps, and  

fewer manual processes for small to medium-sized  

commercial loan requests.

Giving back &  
supporting our 
community 

WE SUPPORT THE COMMUNITIES  

AND PEOPLE WE SERVE. 

Our employees routinely 

volunteer their time and 

talent to help others in 

the community. In 2022, 

our employees donated 

more than 5,400 hours to 

non-profit organizations, 

community service clubs, 

athletic clubs, schools, and 

church organizations in the 

communities where they live. 

For Peoples, it’s the definition 

of being a community bank! 

A Shining Star 

Peoples received a Shining Star award from the 

United Way of Marathon County for our support 

of the United Way Annual Campaign. Peoples was 

honored for our campaign growth, participation 

growth, per capita gift amount, leadership giving, 

corporate gift, and volunteerism. 

Financial Assistance 

Peoples State Bank contributes more than 

$250,000 every year in donations and 

sponsorships of events and organizations that 

impact their communities. Some of our West Allis 

leadership presented a $1,500 check to Junior 

Achievement of Wisconsin in 2022. The money 

was used to provide financial education to young 

students in West Allis area schools.

Raising Money 

Peoples employees pride themselves on helping 

to raise money for non-profits and community 

organizations. Our Rhinelander team coordinates 

three fundraisers each year, this one to raise 

money for the Humane Society of Oneida County. 

Investing in the Future 

In 2022, Peoples provided $1 million to support 

affordable housing development through Cinnaire’s 

2022 Community Fund, a low-income housing 

tax credit equity fund. The investments reinforce 

Peoples’ commitment to expanding access to high-

quality affordable housing—a key driver of economic 

mobility and family stability. Peoples’ investment 

helped build 40 new apartments in Lac du Flambeau, 

a community in need of affordable housing.
