Community Banking Is Back With New Citizens Bank & Trust Scottsboro Office
With a new downtown Scottsboro office open for Citizens Bank & Trust, area residents and businesses once again have a true local, community bank serving Jackson County.
Located at 1535 South Broad Street, the new office is a full-service branch of the Guntersville-based community bank. The expanded Scottsboro operation follows a local loan production office which opened in 2022. Banking and loan services are now combined at the new location.
The Jackson County Market President is Stuart Dawson, a Scottsboro native and Auburn graduate who has served the Scottsboro area for 20 years.
“We are really excited to bring true local banking back to our area. Our loan production operation has received a tremendous response, with many customers asking when full banking services would be available. I’m pleased to say that day is finally here,” Dawson said.
The rest of the Citizens Scottsboro team is made up exclusively of local residents.
“We are thrilled to be in Scottsboro and we truly operate as local bank,” said Citizens Bank & Trust President and CEO Charlie Williams.
“Our lenders and other staff members are from the community, with the ability to make local decisions and get things done without a lot of red tape,” Williams added.
One of the fastest-growing community banks in the state, Citizens Bank & Trust has 11 locations across north Alabama.
In addition to comprehensive financial products and banking technology, Citizens offers a wide range of personal and business lending solutions. The bank also specializes in small business banking and lending, with products and expertise that give both retail and manufacturing companies a competitive edge.
