Message from the President
Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to introduce you to our bank. My hope is that after an introduction to our people and our services you will want to become a part of The Citizens Bank of Georgia as a customer. The Citizens Bank was founded by a group of local business leaders and professionals who believe our community needs a bank that is committed to serving the needs of businesses and residents of our community.
The following information will tell you about the specific services we offer. Considerable effort has gone into designing competitively structured, fairly priced banking services. While we are proud of the services we offer, we understand that the only real way to differentiate ourselves from our competitors is the way our staff of experienced bankers deliver these services to you.
We hold an old-fashioned belief that banking remains a people business. Our people are committed to giving you the best in community banking! I invite you to become a part of The Citizens Bank of Georgia.
Sincerely,
Timothy M. Perry President & Chief Executive Officer
