The year was 1948.







With the end of World War II, a new era of prosperity dawned upon the people of Paducah. In this atmosphere of renewed hope and determination to build a bright future in the Western region of Kentucky, Paducah Bank was established. Now, over 75 years later, our commitment to growth and innovation continues to flourish. In 2018, we proudly expanded our reach to Louisville, extending our tradition of trust, community service, and innovative banking solutions even further. As we continue to grow, it feels like we're just geting started—embracing new opportunities and communities with the same passion and dedication that sparked our journey so many years ago.
