What to bring to your local branch
Here’s what you’ll need to open your personal checking account:
- Basic information to verify who you are, including your name, date of birth, current address, phone number, and Social Security number.
- A valid photo government ID, such as a driver’s license or a U.S. passport showing your current address. (If your ID does not reflect your current address, please provide another document (lease, utility bill or similar) showing your name and current address.)
- If this is a joint account, all owners who do not currently have any account with First State Bank will need to present the above information.
- Money (cash or check) for your opening deposit to your account. The minimum opening deposit for a personal checking account is only $50.
- Finally, if you are under age 18, a parent or guardian will need to be a joint owner of the account.
