Ohio Commerce Bank was founded by local businessmen and bankers in 2006 to serve the small and midsized business community. With only one branch and facing a challenging banking environment and economy in its first few years, Ohio Commerce Bank was still able to grow to $87 million in loans and $106 million in deposits before being acquired by Peoples Bank in July 2013. The deal was worth $16.5 million. Peoples Bank has 49 locations in Ohio, West Virginia and Kentucky, and $1.9 billion in total assets.
