About CB&S Bank – Founded in 1906 in Russellville, Alabama, CB&S Bank began as Citizens Bank, created by three visionaries—William Key, Sr., Charles E. Wilson, Sr., and Foster Gavin—who sought to meet the needs of local farmers and merchants. With just $25,000 in capital and a strong sense of purpose, they opened the bank with a philosophy rooted in service and community, a tradition that continues to guide the bank’s mission today.
As CB&S Bank celebrates this milestone, it remains committed to its founding values while looking ahead to continued growth, innovation, and excellence.
