Dear Valued Customer:
These are exciting times for American Savings Bank and its customers. In October 2017, we announced
that American Savings Bank will merge into Peoples Bank, headquartered in Marietta, Ohio. Peoples
Bank is a strong financial services institution that has been doing business for more than 115 years
throughout Ohio, West Virginia and Kentucky. Pending shareholder and regulatory approvals, the merger
is expected to be completed as of the close of business on April 13, 2018.
What this means to you
As an American Savings Bank customer, your accounts will be transitioned to Peoples Bank. We are
already working to ensure a smooth transition so you can start enjoying many of the opportunities
Peoples Bank provides. On Saturday, April 14, 2018, you will find that American Savings Bank branch
offices have become offices of Peoples Bank and your accounts will be Peoples Bank accounts. Although
the name on the sign will change, you will continue to see familiar faces at all of our locations.
Why this is great news for you
As a Peoples Bank customer, you will have access to a community bank with a greater array of financial
products and services, including trust, brokerage and insurance products, all delivered with the same
local customer service you have come to expect. With 83 locations (including nine American Savings
Bank locations), more than 900 associates, and state-of-the-art technology, Peoples Bank can provide
you with the right products, services and financial expertise to meet your personal or business goals.
Peoples Bank and your community
Peoples Bank has a strong reputation of making a positive and meaningful difference in the communities
it serves. Beyond products and services, Peoples Bank has demonstrated its commitment to communities
through contributions, as well as time and resources volunteered by its employees. Together we are
building stronger communities.
Welcome Packet coming to you
Soon you will receive a more detailed Welcome Packet. The Welcome Packet will contain the information
you will need to make the transition to Peoples Bank – we have made it as easy as possible, but we
encourage you to review all transition materials carefully. American Savings Bank and Peoples Bank
associates are available to help you in any way possible. If you have questions, please stop by any
American Savings Bank or Peoples Bank location – or call Peoples Bank at 800.374.6123.
Opening doors
We are excited about this transition. Over the years, American Savings Bank has worked to provide you
with quality products delivered with the personalized expertise of our employees. With Peoples Bank you
will see the same branch personnel and receive the same attention you have been accustomed to, yet
with additional product and service capabilities. The door is open; the Peoples’ team is eager to get to
know you. Come see us soon.
Sincerely,
