PS Bank on Your Credit Report
In short: PS Bank is a state-chartered commercial bank that is not a member of the Federal Reserve System, supervised by the FDIC and its state regulator, operating from Wyalusing, PA on a charter established in 1914. FDIC certificate 444 records 11 FDIC-reported offices and $675 million in total assets on the 06/30/2026 call report. An account reported by PS Bank is furnished by the bank itself, so your FCRA §623 rights attach to PS Bank directly, in addition to the §611 route through Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. Information that is inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable can be disputed under the FCRA. Outcomes depend on what the furnisher can verify, and results vary.

What makes this creditor different
PS Bank holds FDIC certificate 444 on a charter established November 25, 1914, and reports $675 million in total assets across 11 FDIC-reported offices on its 06/30/2026 call report — about $61 million per office for a bank headquartered in Wyalusing, PA.
How PS Bank appears on your credit report
PS Bank is a regional lender headquartered in Wyalusing, PA, with 11 FDIC-reported offices and $675 million in assets, on a charter 112 years old. At this size a single account is often handled by a small team, which cuts both ways — errors are less likely to be systemic, but when one occurs there may be no automated process to catch it. A short, specific letter that points to one incorrect field usually gets a cleaner response than a broad demand to remove the account.

Grounds to dispute a PS Bank entry
Each of these is a reason a PS Bank tradeline may be inaccurate or unverifiable. None of them assures removal — they are the angles worth checking on your own report.
- ◆Branch-acquired account duplicated under both the old and new bank name
- ◆Mortgage paid at closing but still showing an outstanding balance with PS Bank
- ◆Closed PS Bank deposit-secured line still reporting as an open revolving account
- ◆Account balance or credit limit reported incorrectly
- ◆Payment reported late when it was made inside the grace period
- ◆Date of first delinquency re-aged to extend how long it can report
- ◆Account still reporting as open after it was closed, or vice versa
- ◆Duplicate tradeline for the same account after an internal transfer
- ◆Account belongs to someone else with a similar name, or is the result of identity theft
Disputing an original creditor is not the same as disputing a collector
PS Bank is an original creditor — the institution whose name was on the account when it was opened. That matters for two reasons. First, the FDCPA, which governs debt collectors, generally does not apply to a creditor collecting its own debt in its own name, so the “debt validation” request that works against a collection agency is not the right tool here. Second, as the furnisher of the tradeline, PS Bank has direct obligations under FCRA §623 to investigate a dispute you send it and to correct or delete information it cannot verify as accurate.
Dispute with the bureaus — FCRA §611
File with Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. They must generally investigate within 30 days and tell the furnisher. Free, and you can do it yourself.
Dispute with the furnisher — FCRA §623
Send PS Bank a direct written dispute. It must investigate and must not continue reporting information it knows is inaccurate. Keep copies and proof of delivery.
PS Bank questions, answered
Is PS Bank FDIC-insured, and what is its certificate number?
Yes. PS Bank holds FDIC certificate 444. The FDIC record shows a charter established November 25, 1914, headquarters in Wyalusing, PA, and 11 FDIC-reported offices with $675 million in total assets as of the 06/30/2026 call report. It is a state-chartered commercial bank that is not a member of the Federal Reserve System, supervised by the FDIC and its state regulator.
Who regulates PS Bank, and where do I escalate if a dispute fails?
PS Bank is a state-chartered commercial bank that is not a member of the Federal Reserve System, supervised by the FDIC and its state regulator, so its primary federal oversight runs through the FDIC and its state banking regulator. If a dispute with the bank and the bureaus does not resolve an inaccuracy, you can file a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and you retain a private right of action under FCRA §§616–617. Escalating does not require a third party — you can do all of it yourself at no cost.
How many credit-card complaints does the CFPB show against PS Bank?
None that can be attributed with confidence. PS Bank does not appear as a distinct company in the CFPB's credit-card complaint data for 2025 onward, which is unsurprising for a 11-office community bank rather than a national card issuer. We do not publish a figure matched by partial name, because similar names belong to unrelated companies and attributing another firm's complaints to PS Bank would be inaccurate. You can search the CFPB database yourself at consumerfinance.gov.
How long can a PS Bank charge-off stay on my credit report?
A charged-off PS Bank account can generally report for up to seven years from the date of first delinquency — the original missed payment that was never brought current, not the date PS Bank charged it off and not the date it was sold to a collector. If that date has been moved forward, the re-aging is itself a reportable FCRA inaccuracy.
What is the difference between disputing with PS Bank and disputing with a collector?
The records live in different places. PS Bank originated the account in Wyalusing, so it holds the signed documents and the posting history; a collector works from a data file. That is why disputing the PS Bank tradeline directly under FCRA §623 can surface proof that a collector could not produce.
Does PS Bank report to all three credit bureaus?
That depends on the bank's own furnishing arrangements. Reporting is voluntary under the FCRA, and a bank the size of PS Bank — 11 offices, $675 million in assets — may furnish to only one or two bureaus, each on its own cycle. Pull all three before concluding a PS Bank account is missing or wrong: a balance difference between bureaus is usually a timing artifact, while a difference in payment history, account status or date of first delinquency is worth disputing.
PS Bank was acquired or changed names — why does my report show two accounts?
A rebrand or merger is the usual explanation. A converted PS Bank account can briefly appear under both the old and the new furnisher name. One tradeline should remain; the duplicate should be deleted rather than simply marked closed, because a duplicate still affects utilization and account counts. Dispute it as a duplicate and identify both versions by their last four digits and open dates — for a charter dating to 1914, core-system conversions are the usual cause.
Can I dispute PS Bank reporting myself, without paying anyone?
Yes, and at no cost. You can write PS Bank directly as the furnisher, or file through the three bureaus, or both. Outcomes depend entirely on what the Wyalusing bank's records show, so be wary of anyone promising a result in advance — results vary and no outcome is assured.
What should I check first on PS Bank reporting?
Start with the date of first delinquency, the account status and the high balance or credit limit. Those three drive how long the item reports and how much it weighs. For a 112-year-old lender like PS Bank, older accounts that were converted during a core-system or charter change are the most common source of stale status codes and incorrect open dates.
