Peoples Bank
Computer To Be
Completed By May
Paul B.Cone, Vice President
and Cashier of Peoples Bank and
Trust Company has announced
recently that the bank's new
computer center will be com
pleted as scheduled in May, 1970,
Peoples Bank's new computer
center is located at 1818 Sunset
Avenue in Rocky Mount im
mediately to the rear of the
bank's west office. The 10,000
square foot building will house a
Burroughs 500 Computer System
which will be installed in June of
this year. The center will also be
- used for various other bank
operations as well.
At present various phases of
employe training are being
completed and a transition to
new methods of systems and
procedures have been initiated
by the bank.
Commenting on the new
computer facility, Cone said,
"Peoples Bank has a great deal
of confidence in the future of
Northeastern North Carolina and
feels it is time for the installation
of its own computer facilities.
Also the volume of record
keepings has greatly increased
as a result of the brink's suc
cessful growth in the last few
years. We feel the computer
center is another example of
Peoples Bank's philosophy of
innovating timely services to
meet customer needs."
