The Citizens State Bank opened for business on June 16, 1900 in the building at the northwest corner of First Street and Douglas Avenue. With an initial capital investment of $25,000 in 1900, the bank's total capital accounts now exceeds over $10,000,000. Total assets have grown from less than $100,000 to over $92,000,000 in the same time period. In addition, the bank's Trust Department now manages in excess of $70,000,000 in assets.
In 1993, the Brittons sold what was now the Citizens State Bank and Trust Co. to a local group of investors, with employees now having part ownership in the bank. In December of 2010, Citizens State Bank and Trust Co. acquired a location in Lincoln, Kansas, its first branch. Then the decision was made to build a new facility at the Junction of Highway 156 and 40 which was opened in May of 2012.
