Citibank customers shop for banks; many stick with local entities
The Bowie Citibank location will be shuttering its doors this week on June 27.
The Citibank branch in Nocona has already ceased operations.
More than a half dozen employees at each branch are losing their jobs. Across the state 29 Texas branches closed including ones in Bowie, Nocona, Bridgeport, Decatur, Olney and six in Wichita Falls.
“First off, we hate to see Citibank close its doors and move on,” said TJay McEwen, Wellington State Bank Bowie branch vice president. “For many years, people have relied on them and they’ve filled a great need in the community.”
McEwen reported Wellington State Bank has seen an influx of new customers, primarily opening checking and savings accounts.
