Citizens Bank of Edmond expands its military focused banking division to support customers through another financial Waypoint: business ownership.

EDMOND, Okla., Nov. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Citizens Bank of Edmond announced the launch of ROGER Business Banking, expanding its military focused banking division to serve veterans, service members, military spouses, and entrepreneurs building businesses of their own.

With nearly 2 million veteran owned businesses in the United States, an estimated quarter million active-duty side hustles and close to 200,000 military spouse entrepreneurs, the military community is a significant segment of American business ownership. Yet few financial institutions have built business banking products around the realities of military life.

ROGER guides the military community through key financial Waypoints, from first paycheck to business ownership. Business Banking extends that path into entrepreneurship, helping customers manage the next stage of their financial lives with tools built to grow alongside them.

“Military service members and veterans are some of the most disciplined and resourceful entrepreneurs in the country, but too often they are building businesses using financial tools that were never designed with their lives in mind,” said Jill Castilla, President and CEO of Citizens Bank of Edmond and Founder of ROGER. “ROGER Business Banking allows us to keep serving customers as their mission changes and give them the tools to Command Their Future.”

Business ownership represents a major financial transition for many military connected customers. Service members, veterans and military spouses often move from managing personal finances into launching side businesses, transitioning careers or building companies of their own. ROGER Business Banking extends the relationship into that next stage, allowing customers to continue banking within an ecosystem designed around the realities of military life.

“Supporting military entrepreneurs isn’t just good policy; it’s an investment in leadership. ROGER is doing exactly that and doing it right,” said ROGER customer and Advisory Board member Gen. (Ret.) Paul E. Funk II. 

ROGER is a military focused digital bank backed by the stability of a 125-year-old community bank. 

Features include:

• Digital business account opening
• Instant-issue virtual cards
• Uncapped ATM fee refunds
• Digital banking tools built for mobility
• 4% APY on business savings accounts
• Business lending, including term loans, lines of credit, and SBA loans

ROGER’S veteran owned and led digital experience is not only backed by FDIC-insured Citizens Bank of Edmond, but also personal connection. Customers reach real people when they call.
