Meet the Team

We’re all local to Monroe and Ouachita Parish. We see so many customers at the downtown RiverMarket or Downtown River Jams. Or just out fishing and hunting or in the park with families. You make our work life at Citizens Financial mean so much that it’s really special when we meet you around the area. Thank you for letting us into your family.

Our Story

Hurricanes. Fires. Economic recessions. Great times. Big victories and wins. Ups and downs. New births and sad passings. When you’re around a community for as long as we have been, you see it all. And you see it unfiltered. It’s as real as real can be.

The one consistency through all of the good times and the not so good times has been the incredible faith and strength of the people in this community and county. If anything, we mirror their ebb and flow as the events of time pass. And we’ve been here for them through it all just like they have been here for us.

Funny thing about history. The history of more than 25 years. It passes so quickly but it spans so much time. It paints a really clear roadmap of where we’ve been and what we’ve all been through together. But it also paints a pretty picture of how good it feels that we’re here in this community and we’ll be here for the next 25 years. Helping folks get the loans and money they need for the reasons they do. And it’s been thousands of people that we’ve touched and helped since the beginning.

So bring on the next batch of good times and not so good times. We’ll be right here. We’re not changing and we’re certainly not going anywhere. There’s no need to rewrite history when the one you have tells the best story.

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.
