DUBUQUE, IOWA (June 17, 2026) — First Community Trust NA (FCT), a nationally-chartered trust company, has entered into a new partnership with Peoples Credit Union to enhance the range of financial services available to its members. As part of the collaboration, FCT Insurance, an affiliated agency, will also provide access to a variety of insurance products.

Through this partnership, members will be able to connect with professionals offering investment management, retirement, and estate planning, and trust services through FCT. In addition, FCT Insurance will offer solutions including annuities, life insurance, Medicare solutions*, disability coverage, and long-term-care planning.
