Community Development
Our commitment to our communities goes beyond providing banking services. We use our expertise and financial support to promote affordable housing, advance neighborhood development, enhance small business lending, and improve access to consumer financial services. These initiatives and investments pave the way for individuals, families, and businesses to realize their financial aspirations and dreams and actively participate in fostering economic stability within their communities. This collaborative approach ensures that the rewards of growth and prosperity are shared, nurturing a thriving, interconnected community.

Community Development Financial Institution
Citizens National Bank holds the prestigious certification as a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) designated by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s CDFI Fund, a distinction shared by fewer than 125 banks nationwide. This certification reflects our commitment to promoting community development and serving low-income areas with vital financial services.
As a CDFI Bank, our focus is fueling economic growth in Mississippi’s underserved communities. We achieve this by financing businesses, creating jobs, aiding neighborhood revitalization, and improving consumer product and service access. Our mission is not just to provide credit and capital but to do so in a way that is accessible and beneficial to those in economically disadvantaged areas.
For more information about Citizens National Bank’s designation as a CDFI, contact Community Development Director Tra Alford or Community Development Officer Tyeisha Smith.
