Feds order Peoples Bank to strengthen financial conditions
Lawrence based Peoples Bank, with 15 locations, must deliver a written plan in two months to improve earnings and overall condition after regulators cited underperforming loans. The Federal Reserve listed management, reporting and planning requirements following a June examination that flagged selected loans and credit extensions. The bank, with $300 million in assets, reported 2009 loan chargeoffs of over $4.9 million and says shareholders added $2.5 million in capital last year to bolster its capital cushion. Winter Jr. credits progress and notes the bank avoids TARP and subprime real estate lending while serving local deposits and loans.
