Peoples Bank collects various types of information to provide you with banking products and services, manage your accounts, and fulfill legal and regulatory requirements. This includes information you provide directly, such as your name, address, Social Security number, and account details when opening an account or applying for a loan. We also collect transaction data, such as payment history and balances.
We use this information primarily to process your transactions, provide customer support, manage risk, and comply with legal obligations such as those set by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). We do not sell your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.
