BankFirst Financial Services is closing their branch in Shuqualak, MS.
As you probably know, Shuqualak is not quite what it used to be. It is very disheartening to us citizens. It seems as though we have to fight to keep (the few) places that are left open. Many people today don’t understand the importance of small towns in America. We’ve had to worry that the library, the post office, and now the bank are going to close. Our branch has been here since it was an M&F, 103 years ago.
BankFirst's supposed values would make this go against everything they say they believe in. Check out http://www.bankfirstfs.com/about-us/history.html and see what I'm talking about.
Please do your duty as a citizen and stand up!
I honestly never thought we would get this kind of traction when I first typed this out on my phone in the kitchen but here we are and the response is just wild. People are actually listening and seeing that we are not just going to let them walk away from our branch after a hundred years. Stay tuned because I just got an email from someone who wants to talk about what is happening here.

My grandmother opened her first savings account at this branch back in the 50s. You just cant replace that kind of history. Leave our bank alone!

Shuqualak is already losing everything. If the bank goes we have to drive way too far just to cash a check. This is wrong.
