Peoples Bank of East Tennessee

Peoples Bank of East Tennessee is a locally owned community bank headquartered in Madisonville, TN, founded in 1997 and serving businesses across East Tennessee. Its commercial lineup covers lines of credit, term loans, equipment finance, commercial real estate financing, and construction finance — a practical range for small businesses at most stages. The bank also operates a residential mortgage division under the Mountain Trust Mortgage brand. As a community institution with local decision-makers, it appears well suited for East Tennessee businesses that prefer a relationship-banking approach over dealing with a large regional or national lender. Rates and qualification requirements aren't publicly listed, so you'll want to contact the bank directly to discuss your situation.
