We are proud that Prairie State Bank & Trust serves a vital function in our communities. As such, we have been responsibly implementing guidance from Federal and State governmental entities, bank regulators and local public health departments regarding the COVID-19 virus. In order to ensure we continue to meet all of your banking needs, we are proactively monitoring developments and will continue to take all actions that are warranted as new information emerges in this rapidly changing situation. Our goal is to fulfill our commitment to our communities, ensure the health and safety of our staff and customers, and to continue to provide the level of service you have come to expect from Prairie State Bank & Trust.  

We understand that many people are trying to limit their contact with other individuals to minimize their exposure to the COVID-19 virus. At Prairie State Bank & Trust our electronic banking systems give you the ability to check balances, transfer funds, deposit checks, pay bills and handle the majority of your banking business from your home. Effective immediately, we will temporarily waive all mobile deposit fees even if you are in an account that normally incurs a charge.
