One Community Bank is excited to welcome Intercity State Bank to our growing organization. The successful completion of this planned merger is official as of August 1, 2025. This merger brings together two like-minded community banks with a shared mission to serve clients, support colleagues, and invest in their local communities.
“I am excited to have Intercity State Bank join One Community Bank in 2025,” said Steve Peotter, President and CEO of One Community Bank. “I have enjoyed the opportunity to get to know the Intercity team over the years. Through this merger and our aligned approach, we will enhance our clients’ experience, provide expanded career opportunities for colleagues, and elevate our support of the greater Wausau community.”
