The roots of First Citizens State Bank go back to the start of The First National Bank of Whitewater in 1863. The First National Bank of Whitewater, the forerunner of First Citizens State Bank, was the third national bank chartered in the State of Wisconsin and the one hundred and twenty-fourth in the United States. It was organized in response to a decided demand on the part of the community for adequate banking facilities. The bank opened for business on January 2, 1864 in downtown Whitewater.
In 1931, the First National and the Citizens State Bank were merged into The First Citizens State Bank. National Bank regulations on loans secured by real estate mortgages were restrictive to the point that operation under a state charter appeared to offer opportunity of greater service to the community. Combining the assets of the two banks provided a broader base of usefulness to the community. At the completion of over one hundred and fifty years of existence in Whitewater and with assets now exceeding $200 million, a view of the past gives a clue to the future.
The main office is located in downtown Whitewater and the bank have a branch bank located near Whitewater Lake in the Kettle Moraine area, and a west branch located across from McDonald's in Whitewater. First Citizens State Bank also have a branch in East Troy and have many ATM locations.
