Business Checking

We provide you with a low cost, full service checking account which offers you the convenience of conducting business in a variety of ways.

  • No annual fees
  • No minimum balance required
  • Monthly maintenance charge $7.50
  • Each check paid .16
  • Each deposit ticket .25
  • Each check deposited .12
  • Earn Interest or Earnings Credit*
  • Free Online Banking, Bill Payment & Mobile Banking

*Interest bearing checking accounts are available anyone including: corporations, LLCs, partnerships, LLPs, PCs and realty trusts sole proprietorships, company pensions, fiduciaries, and certain tax exempt special service organizations (ones that sell their services such as medical and private care facilities) or non-profit membership organizations (such as unions). Service charges are calculated monthly according to our service charge schedule (Understanding Your Deposit Account disclosure) and interest is earned according to current rates. If the charges incurred exceed the interest earned, then the difference is debited from the account. If the interest earned exceeds the charges, the net interest is paid.

Earnings Credit Checking Accounts the same as the above except that instead of earning interest the account receives an earnings credit that we calculate based on Treasury bill rates and the account's average available balance. Against this earnings credit we apply each month's service charges. If the charges incurred exceed the earnings credit, the difference is debited from the account. If the earnings credit exceeds the charges, the difference is not credited to the account as interest. This account might be best chosen rather than the above interest bearing account if it is likely to have more activity, as the earnings credit we give is generally higher than the interest rate we offer.

Fighting Fraud

Protecting your privacy and identity is paramount to us so we constantly test the security of our computer systems. And our staff has been trained to be vigilant of any suspicious activities. Because we know our customers, we are quick to call you when we see transactions that don't fit your normal banking patterns.

We're one of the few banks that still physically examine checks to verify signatures, dates and amounts. We will take the time to call you and verify payment on large checks presented. We also utilize the latest software to identify changes in your check stock paper, logo or signature. For more details on how we protect you, click here.
