Meet J.R. Jones, Branch Manager at the Blanchester branch in Ohio! With a passion for building relationships, J.R. is committed to helping clients feel confident in their financial journey.

A graduate of Ohio Valley University, J.R. earned a degree in Business Management while playing collegiate golf for the Fighting Scots. He began his career at Peoples Bank nearly three years ago as a Universal Banker II, later advancing to Assistant Branch Manager, and now proudly stepping into his role as Branch Manager.

“I look forward to serving Blanchester as Branch Manager,” J.R. shared. “I strive to build long-term relationships based on integrity and trust, ensuring our clients know they can always count on us.”

For J.R., Peoples Bank is more than a workplace – it’s a community-driven, people-focused team. “I love how we actively give back to the communities we serve, and how our culture supports employees at every level.”

J.R.’s Best Banking Advice – “Partner with a bank that makes you feel confident and safe – one that truly cares about your finances, whether you’re opening your first account or planning for retirement.”

J.R. is an active member of Leadership Clinton and looks forward to serving as a board member of the Blanchester Chamber of Commerce.

Outside of work, he enjoys golfing, spending time with his wife, soon-to-be son, and their dog, Reid – who even made an appearance in the 2025 Peoples Bank Calendar! He’s also a proud fan of the West Virginia Mountaineers in football and basketball.

Join us in welcoming J.R. to his new role – he’s excited to serve the Blanchester community and be a trusted financial partner for years to come!
