About Us

Citizens First National Bank’s roots in the community can be traced back to 1865, long before it took the name it carries today. As a matter of fact, Citizens First National Bank is the result of a merger of three local banks in an attempt to preserve the local economy following the stock market crash of October, 1929. The new bank opened its doors for business on January 1, 1930 in Princeton, Illinois, with $3,000,000 in assets and $150,000 in capital. From that day forward, Citizens has continued to grow.

On October 11, 2006, the total assets of Princeton National Bancorp, Inc., Citizens holding company, surpassed a record $1 billion. During the first quarter of 2007, Citizens opened its 21st office in Plainfield with the acquisition of this location of HomeStar Bank (Manteno, Illinois).

Dedicated staff members, with a strong work ethic and unparalleled skills, form the strength of Citizens First National Bank. By adhering to high standards of performance, Citizens has earned a leadership role within the communities it serves and is committed to exceeding customers' expectations.
