Shareholder Information

 

2012 marked a year of meaningful improvement in the financial performance and strategic operational direction of Citizens Bancshares Corporation. The most notable success was the strides made in improving the Company’s overall risk profile.

 

We began 2012 on a strategic mission to improve our asset quality metrics and reduce the risk on the Company’s balance sheet.
