Lead by our founding principles, our goal is to elevate our customers in the Wealth-Builder category to grow stronger financially. Whether that is providing the resources to help them to become homeowners or helping them grow their small businesses, we continue to evolve banking solutions to meet their growing banking needs.
Homeownership has been identified as a key factor to address the inequality in the wealth gap for Black Americans. CTB has hosted a series of educational workshops and other events that touched over 4,000 people.

The incredible growth of our valued clients has helped pave our way forward to opportunities to expand our presence and relationships in other markets. We hope to be a $1B bank by 2024.
Despite these growth trends, we know the unchangeable fact that: sustainable communities cannot thrive without resilience and consensus on the shared value of the community ecosystems. Partnerships with and investments from larger mainstream institutions like JP Morgan Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo, the Black Banks Foundation and MLS start a new paradigm.
The importance of inclusion and being a champion for the need for economic equality continues to resonate and deliver Citizens Trust Bank a larger platform to improve our communities’ ecosystems.
