Those words by then-President and co-founder Robert R. Thomas in 1970 are more true today than ever before. Citizens State Bank was organized to serve the working people of the Sequatchie Valley at a time when out-of-town bank ownership was just beginning to be common. The number of banks with no direct connection to the area has multiplied, and today Citizens State Bank is the only locally owned, locally managed bank in the community. The organizers felt the valley needed a bank completely dependent on the economic health of this valley, where money deposited at home could be loaned at home, putting the average wage earner and small business on the same basis as a large corporation. Today as we move into a new century, CSB is still dedicated to this mandate and is proud to be a strong, local asset to the citizens of the Sequatchie Valley area, truly A Real Community Bank.

Citizens State Bank takes its role in the community seriously, particularly in the area of education. CSB created the H.O.P.E. (Helping Our Partners in Education) program to meet the financial needs of the educators of Marion and Grundy Counties. It includes direct deposit checking and savings accounts, exclusive loans over the phone, and add-on CDs. CSB has also established the Education Excellence Fund, which has put thousands of badly needed dollars into our community's classrooms.
