Press Releases

MANSFIELD, PA (December 2023) First Citizens Community Bank (FCCB) is pleased to share that they have been acknowledged by Newsweek and market data research firm Plant-A Insights Group as one of the top 250 regional banks in the United States.

For the first time, Plant-A Insights Group and Newsweek partnered to determine America’s Best Regional Banks. The evaluation process analyzed all regional banks in the United States and encompassed a comprehensive assessment of FCCB’s profitability, financial relevance, risk exposures to financial uncertainties and overall health and stability. In addition, social media reviews, Apple App store and Google Play store reviews were collected to support the scoring model.

Differentiating themselves from larger counterparts, regional institutions like FCCB are deeply rooted in their local economies, and they stay attuned to the unique needs of the communities they serve. This approach has allowed FCCB to cultivate strong relationships with customers, facilitating the delivery of personalized services tailored to individual needs.

“In every community we serve our commitment is to integrate ourselves into the neighborhood. We do this by building meaningful relationships, listening to the needs of the community, and actively contributing to make a positive impact. This helps build a sense of trust and community that resonates with our customers and has become one of the key factors setting FCCB apart from the competition,” noted Randy Black, CEO & President of FCCB. “In an era where digital advancements can overshadow the value of personalized service, we are proving that a community-centered approach is the secret ingredient to our success.”

Alongside their customer-centric approach, FCCB has consistently maintained robust financial relevance. In June 2022 Citizens Financial Services, Inc., the holding company for FCCB, uplisted the company’s common stock to the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol CZFS, improving the liquidity of the Bank’s stock and access to capital management. Just six months after the company’s move to Nasdaq, CZFS was one of five banks in the nation added to the ABAQ index, the nation's most broadly representative stock index for community banks. And most recently, FCCB successfully completed the acquisition of Huntingdon Valley Bancorp, Inc., expanding their presence in communities located in Montgomery, Bucks and Philadelphia Counties in Pennsylvania, New Castle County in Delaware, and Burlington County in New Jersey.

FCCB (First Citizens Community Bank) is dedicated to providing a comprehensive range of services, including mortgage and real estate loans, high-interest rewards checking, trust and investment services, business loans, and cash management services that help businesses save time and money. Based in Mansfield, Pennsylvania, FCCB extends its reach with 39 strategically located branches across Tioga, Bradford, Potter, Clinton, Centre, Union, Lebanon, Lancaster, Schuylkill, Berks, Bucks, Montgomery, Philadelphia, and Chester counties in Pennsylvania. They also proudly serve Allegany County in New York, as well as New Castle and Kent Counties in Delaware, and Burlington County in New Jersey.
