Effectively and efficiently process and remit payments for bank invoices in an accurate and timely manner.

The Citizens Bank opened in 1908 in Philadelphia, MS, and it quickly earned a reputation for safety, confidence, honesty, integrity, and hard work. Throughout its history, the bank held steadfast to its commitment to be a bedrock partner to the communities it serves. Today, still grounded in the principles on which we were founded, our bank serves the state of Mississippi through 26 branch offices and beyond with its digital and mobile banking solutions.

Our high-tech, high-touch approach to full-service banking helps us provide the products and services of larger banks, but with a level of service that only a community bank committed to extraordinary service can provide. We’re different. We appreciate and respect our past, but our sights are clearly set on building an even better bank for the future, and it starts with our people.

Our commitment to making the bank a great place to work is woven into the fabric of our core values - SERVE.
