Bank Accounts
Checking Accounts: A checking account is an account where you can deposit money, like a paycheck, so you can use it to pay bills, make purchases, or withdraw cash. A State Bank Representative can help you find the checking account that’s right for you! We even have options that include identity protection and credit report information as you start building credit. Many of our accounts require no minimum balance and have no monthly fee as long as you enroll for eStatements.
Savings Accounts: A savings account is a place where you can deposit money you are reserving for a special purchase or goal. Save for college, a new computer, or just start an emergency fund in case something unexpected comes up. A State Bank Representative can help you find the savings account that best fits you.

Other Services
Debit Cards: A debit card allows you to make purchases using funds from your checking account. Debit cards can also be used to withdraw money from an ATM. Because your debit card is tied directly to the money in your checking account, it is important to keep your card safe and notify the bank immediately if it has been lost or stolen. State Bank Representatives can help you decide what spending limit is right for you and set up transaction alerts so you always know where your card is being used.
Credit Cards: If you are 18 or older, State Bank can help you choose a credit card to start building your credit. Apply solo or with a joint owner for cards with or without rewards. State Bank Representatives will explain our card options to you so you can make the best choice for your wallet!
Overdraft Prevention: Avoid accidentally overdrawing your account by setting up a savings sweep! When money runs out in your checking account, we can automatically move funds from your savings account to your checking account to cover your purchase. Ask a State Bank Representative for details!
