Our goal is to provide the highest quality banking services to our customers and the communities in which we operate. Our slogan, Progressive Banking…Traditional Service, reflects more than ever the challenges in today’s rapidly evolving, fiercely competitive community banking industry. We remain committed to our core belief in managing Prairie State Bank and Trust responsibly for the long term, with integrity and with loyalty to our customers and employees. Prairie State Bank & Trust strives to bring our customers a one-of-a-kind banking experience, grounded in relationships and nurtured through service. We believe that by “going the extra mile,” we are not just a bank, but a key partner in helping achieve your financial goals.  We achieve this by creating a positive, well-managed work environment with employees that are passionate about helping our customers thrive and by differentiating ourselves through excellent customer service. We aim to attract and retain quality employees through effective hiring processes, competitive pay, quality training, continuing development for highly engaged employees, and other attractive benefits. We strive to ensure well-defined training programs are in place and effective and to also ensure employee resources are managed well and fully engaged.  We feel PSB&T is an excellent place to work where management is encouraged to create an environment to help employees have a happy and satisfying working experience. Our employees are the key to our continued success and we value their efforts and contributions as we strive to achieve our goals each and every day.
