Do Not Call Policy

Peoples Bank, National Association (“Bank”), and its subsidiary, Peoples Insurance Agency, Inc. (“Agency”), (Agency and Bank herein collectively referred to as “Peoples”) may from time to time seek to expand their business through telephone solicitation calls, which offer their products and services to existing or potential customers.  All such solicitation, whether done directly by representatives of Bank or Agency, or by individuals or organizations contracted by Peoples to make such calls, must be conducted in strict conformity with our Do Not Call Policy.

If you don’t want to receive telephone solicitation calls from Peoples, you can ask us to place your telephone number on our “Do Not Call” list.  In compliance with federal and state laws, we’ll document your request immediately.  Please allow up to 30 days for your telephone number to be removed from any telephone solicitation programs that are currently underway.

• Your request can be in writing or by phone, and must include, at a minimum, your telephone number.
• If you have multiple telephone numbers, tell us all numbers that you want to be included.
• You’ll remain on our “Do Not Call” list for five years, unless you ask to be removed.
• If your telephone number ever changes, you must give us your new information for your “do not call” status to remain effective.

When we solicit prospective customers, we also honor “do not call” requests on behalf of consumers listed on the National Do Not Call Registry maintained by the Federal Trade Commission and various state-agency lists.  “Do Not Call” regulations permit companies to contact their own customers even though they are on these “Do Not Call” lists.  Therefore, if you are a customer, you may be contacted by us even though you are on a state or the national “Do Not Call” list.  If you do not want to be contacted by Peoples even though you are a customer, simply follow the steps above to be placed on the Peoples “Do Not Call” list and your request will be honored.

Being on the Peoples “Do Not Call” list means that you won’t receive telephone solicitation calls by anybody representing Peoples.  We may still contact you, however, for non-solicitation purposes.  This would include things like surveys, billing and other service-related matters.

All employees that engage in outbound telephone solicitation are trained in this policy and are made aware of these procedures before they are allowed to place calls to consumers.  Management reviews the policy with these employees on a regular basis.  If a consumer requests a copy of our “Do Not Call” policy, we will send a copy via U.S. mail or electronic mail.  The “Do Not Call” policy is also posted on the Peoples Website at www.peoplesbancorp.com. 

Peoples intends to comply with all federal and state Do Not Call laws.  Any questions concerning Peoples Do Not Call Policy may be directed to:
