Central Bank Illinois is commemorating the 10th anniversary of its branch in Peru, which has experienced significant growth while providing support to local organizations in the Illinois Valley. The bank opened its Peru location in 2016, initially starting in a modest strip mall without an established customer base. It has since moved to its current branch at 1721 Midtown Road.

Over the past decade, the Peru branch has supported more than 50 local organizations and community events, contributing over $150,000 in charitable donations, along with sponsorships and volunteer efforts. "Ten years ago, we entered the Peru market as the new bank in town with a vision to serve this community in a meaningful way," said Community Bank President Neal Knauf. He emphasized that the bank's growth is attributable to the trust of its customers and the commitment of its staff, stating, "We are honored to have become a valued part of the Peru community."
Central Bank Illinois focuses on serving individuals, families, farmers, and businesses through its network of 10 branches. It is a member of the FDIC and an equal housing lender.
