Citizens Guaranty Bank was chartered in 1971 and opened the River Drive location in 1972. In 2022, Citizens Guaranty Bank will be proudly celebrating 50 years of service to our friends, families, and fellow neighbors in Estill County. In those 50 years we have been dedicated supporters and actively involved in the Estill County School System, helping to mold and build the students in our community.
Locally owned and operated, the bank currently has over 75 dedicated team members in seven different locations with a unifying mission: “At CGB, we serve our friends and neighbors to enhance their lives and achieve their dreams while actively supporting our local communities where we live and work.”
Chief Executive Officer Kathy Samples shared, “When the concept of the Estill County Area Technology Center was presented, this was a project we knew we wanted to support and be a part of helping to give the community in Eastern Kentucky the best opportunities and easy access to academic and technical skills where they can experience work-based learning to implement career pathways for students, as well as adults, to ‘enhance their lives and achieve their dreams.’ We are honored to be a partner in this project and look forward to all the success stories we will be able to celebrate in the coming years.”
Citizens Guaranty Bank has committed $5,000 annually in funding to the Estill County Area Technology Center which is set for Grand Opening on July 23, 2021. We are thankful for everyone who has worked so hard to make this happen, as well as all the new projects forthcoming in the district.
