Why Choose Citizens Bank?

Proven Relationships
As an independent local bank, we are deeply invested in our community. Our lenders see the value in developing genuine, lasting, consultative relationships with real estate professionals and home buyers.

Fast & Free Pre-Approvals
More complete than a pre-qualification, a pre-approval from Citizens Bank tells your buyer how much home they can comfortably afford while also adding credibility to a purchase offer.

In-House Loan Servicing
Question about escrow? Insurance? We’re here for your buyers long after closing. We service most of our loans in-house, meaning borrowers contact us directly for help.

Quick, Local Decision Making
Rather than shipping loan applications off to some faraway land, we review applications internally, and in most cases, come back with an approval within just a few days.

Personalized Service + Online Convenience
Borrowers can apply with an experienced, dedicated loan officer or on their own using our online mortgage application. We’re always here to help your buyers throughout the process.
