Bankfirst Branch Closes in Shuqualak

SHUQUALAK, Miss. (WCBI) – If you live in Shuqualak, you’ll have to do your banking out of town.

Last Friday (8-30), Shuqualak shut the doors on one of its oldest businesses.

Bankfirst Financial Services, formerly Merchants and Farmers Bank, had been in business since way back in 1906.

Customer accounts will not be closed, and no action is required on their part.

Shuqualak branch accounts will be serviced from the Macon Office.

Bank officials say closing the branch was a difficult decision, but it was necessary.
