The bank offers personal and business checking and savings accounts; certificates of deposit; personal e-services including digital banking and Zelle person-to-person payments; and additional services such as INFOLINE 24-hour bank-by-phone, debit cards, overdraft protection, night depository, safe deposit boxes, gift cards, wire transfers, cashier's checks, and notary services; business e-services comprising BillPay and eStatements; treasury management including disbursement and collection services; and beneficial ownership filing services.

In October 2025, CNB Bank Shares entered into a definitive agreement to merge with HBT Financial, Inc. in a cash-and-stock transaction valued at approximately $170.2 million, with the deal expected to close in the first quarter of 2026 subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals; this follows prior expansions such as the 2018 acquisition of Jacksonville Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiary Jacksonville Savings Bank, which added four locations and consolidated in 2019, and the bank's listing on the OTCQX Best Market under the CNBN symbol in September 2018.
