Where Can I Use the CF Bee Debit Card?

When you bank with Citizens First Bank, you’re supporting your local community. But the benefits of the CF Bee Checking Account go beyond just that. Your teen will get all the perks of a regular checking account, plus the tools and guidance they need to develop smart money habits for life. And as they grow, you can feel confident knowing your financial history is safe with us – making it easier to qualify for future loans, mortgages, and more.
