First National Bank makes it easy to choose a checking account that fits your needs. Five different checking account programs tailored for everyone from students to seniors are available. All of our checking options include online banking, a free ATM/Debit card and they all only require a minimum deposit of $50 to get started. All of the details and options are below, but you MUST come into any of our First National Branch locations in order to open the checking account that’s right for you.
Student Checking – It’s never too early to start a checking account! Recent studies have shown that “20-somethings” entering the world of work are “underbanked” because they don’t understand the banking process and have never had a checking or savings account. A checking account is a vital part of your financial identity. A well maintained checking account can lead to good credit scores, credit card access, ease of rental for an apartment or even a better experience when applying for a mortgage. The First National Bank “Student Checking Account” is a great way to start your banking experience:
- No monthly service fees,
- A FREE ATM/Debit Card (for qualified customers),
- Unlimited check writing and…
- Your first order of standard checks is FREE.
