Our story

Citizens Financial Services started in 1993 with a “dream and a smile”. Citizens’ goal was to make the loan process simple and fast by removing the red tape that bogs down larger banks. Citizens also knew that there were plenty of good folks in the area that were credit-worthy, even if the bank’s computer scores said otherwise.

By talking with people and getting to know them and their stories, Citizens has been able to carve out a successful niche serving folks who were turned away by traditional banks or simply did not want to deal with the hassle of big banks.

It really is all about the people. We are genuinely curious and love getting to know people. It continues to be rewarding to share in the lives and stories of members of the community. We see ups and downs, we are there to give a high-five or a hug – whatever it takes. Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name.

Life keeps happening every day for everyone – new tires, dental work, a new hot water heater, vacations…you name it and we have loaned money for it! We aim to create win-win situations so that our loans are sustainable and affordable for our customers.

If it works for you, then it works for us.

I recommend Citizens Financial. Ms Carrie helped me in my time of need even though I am done with bankruptcy she gave me a second chance to rebuild my credit. She is very kind and friendly.

K. Jackson • Customer
Thank you all for the Get Well card. It's not often a company has such concern for a customer. It was a special treat! Citizens Finance is a company that goes out of its way to treat the customer special. I would never go anywhere else.
Anonymous • Customer
Would never deal with another finance company. They humanize their clients/customers. And on top of that, you can get free popcorn! It's a great company with extra special people. I wouldn't do business with anyone else.
D. Nolan • Customer
It is never a pleasant experience to be in a financial bind; whether its unexpected school fees, automobile repairs or a major appliance dying. Over the years, Jack and Carrie and the Staff at Citizens have been a lifesaver for me.
A. Hindmon • Customer
I have known Mr. Jack and staff for many years. Mr. Jack and staff are extraordinary, remarkable, and kind people. They are also God fearing people. They've helped me in hard times and I appreciate everything they've done.
