History

Prairie State Bank was established on April 2, 1998 as a locally owned and independent bank. On January 1, 2004, we changed the bank’s name to Prairie Community Bank to more closely reflect our commitment and focus on our surrounding communities. Each day, we open our doors with one thing as our focus: YOU. We’re committed to improving your life through better products, service and people.
