Citizens Bank

About Us

Since opening its doors in Kilgore, Texas, in 1949, Citizens Bank has been built on the belief that banking should be personal, local, and relationship-driven. What began as a small community bank with approximately $1 million in opening day deposits, quickly grew through strong customer relationships and a commitment to serving local businesses and families.

Over the decades, Citizens Bank expanded its services, introduced new banking technology, and opened additional branches across Texas while continuing to prioritize direct access and personal service. From becoming one of the region’s leading oil and gas lenders to supporting local housing and community development projects, the bank has remained focused on helping communities grow stronger.

Today, Citizens Bank continues to combine modern banking solutions with the same hometown values it was founded on more than 75 years ago: trusted relationships, responsive service, and a commitment to helping customers move forward with confidence.
