CB&S Bank Parent Company Completes Acquisition of Citizens Bank & Trust
CBS Banc-Corp., the parent company of CB&S Bank, has officially completed its acquisition of TAG Bancshares, Inc., the parent company of Citizens Bank & Trust.
The transaction became effective April 1, 2026, marking a major development for banking customers across Northwest Georgia and the surrounding region.
Despite the acquisition being finalized, officials say customers should not expect immediate changes. Full conversion and integration of Citizens Bank & Trust into CB&S Bank operations is expected to take place in the fall of 2026.
In the meantime, customers can continue to bank as usual — including using existing branches, debit and credit cards, checks, ATMs, and making loan payments without interruption.
CBS Banc-Corp., headquartered in Russellville, Alabama, is the holding company for CB&S Bank, which was founded in 1906. Following the acquisition, the company now operates more than 50 locations across Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, and Tennessee, with approximately $3 billion in assets.
Company leaders say the acquisition is part of a broader strategy to expand services and strengthen community banking across the Southeast.
Additional details about the company and its services can be found at CBS Bank’s website.
Officials note that forward-looking statements regarding the company’s future plans and performance are subject to change based on economic conditions and other factors.
