Why "it" Matters

Citizens Bank of Ada

"it" Does Matter Where You Bank

Citizens Bank of Ada was founded in 1967 by four of Ada's finest business and civic leaders, who between them had over 35 years of banking experience. They believed a bank should strengthen the surrounding community, and we still believe that today.

History

On November 19, 1965, the charter for Citizens Bank of Ada was granted by the Oklahoma State Banking Department. Organizers of the new bank wanted a locally owned bank, with local control and local decision making powers.

On February 19, 1967, Citizens Bank of Ada invited the community to an Open House at the Main Bank location, at 123 West 12th. A local contractor constructed the beautiful new building, and local materials, such as the brick, were used wherever possible, boasting that Citizens Bank of Ada is a "local bank."

As the town of Ada grew, so did Citizens Bank of Ada:

1978- The Motor Bank on the corner of 12th and Townsend was built.
1986- An upper level was added to the Main Bank which nearly doubled its size.
Valentines Day, 2001- The Arlington Branch on the corner of Arlington and Country Club Road celebrated its Grand Opening.
