Citizens Bancshares Corporation

Founded in 1921 in Atlanta, Georgia, Citizens Bancshares Corporation, through its subsidiary Citizens Trust Bank, has a historic mission of promoting financial stability and wealth creation within the African American community. The bank was established by five visionary businessmen to serve the local community, which was underserved by other financial institutions at the time.
