MORRISON, Ill. September 30, 2026 Citizens First Bank is pleased to announce that Kristine Wiersema has been named Branch Manager of the bank’s new Morrison, Illinois, location. Kris will continue in her role as Vice President, Real Estate Lending.
Wiersema brings more than three decades of banking experience to the position. She began her banking career in 1990 and joined Citizens First Bank in 2006 as a Loan Operations Specialist. Since that time, she has become an integral member of the bank’s real estate lending team, helping customers navigate important financial decisions with knowledge, care, and personalized service.
“I am excited for the opportunity to serve the Morrison community and help build meaningful relationships with the individuals, families, and businesses who call this area home,” Wiersema said. “Citizens First Bank believes banking should be personal, approachable, and centered on the customer. I look forward to bringing that commitment to Morrison and becoming an active part of the community.”
Wiersema graduated from the Iowa Bankers Consumer Credit School in 2013. In addition to her work at Citizens First Bank, she is a member of Clinton Kiwanis and serves on the Skyline Foundation Board.
Located at 100 West Lincoln Way, suite B, the Morrison office represents Citizens First Bank’s first new branch opening since 2004 and continues the bank’s investment in the families, businesses, and agricultural customers of the region. The full-service branch will offer personal, business, mortgage, and agricultural banking services supported by local decision-makers and bankers who understand the communities they serve.
Through Wiersema’s leadership, the Morrison branch will carry that relationship-based approach into a new community while continuing the bank’s tradition of local service.
