REGULAR CHECKING
Open a regular checking account with a small opening deposit and get all the convenience of paying bills by check. There is no limit on the number of checks you can write each month and your checks provide a record of your spending.  With relationship banking at BSV, you may never pay a monthly service charge on your regular checking account. If you carry a balance of $5,000 in savings or $10,000 in a Certificate of Deposit, Advantage Account, Premier Account, Premier Plus or a Money Market Investment Account, monthly service charges are waived on your regular checking account.
Use of BSV's online banking services NetTeller and Bill Payment are free of charge. There is also no annual fee for a BSV MasterCard or Visa credit card.*

NON PROFIT CHECKING
Any non-profit organization may open a regular checking account with a small opening balance. All monthly service charges are waived when the account carries a minimum or average balance that meets the requirements as specified in the most recent BSV Service Charge Schedule. Please ask your BSV banker for a copy of the latest schedule.

LIFELINE CHECKING
Lifeline checking is an inexpensive way to have the convenience of a checking account with a minimal service charge. Lifeline checking can be set up with a small opening deposit. Check images are stored by the bank indefinitely. The account allows unlimited check writing, and use of BSV's online banking services NetTeller and Bill Payment free of charge.

SUPER SAVER CHECKING
A direct deposit from your employer or other income source (Social Security, etc.) is the only qualification you need to open a Super Saver checking account. There is no monthly service charge and no minimum or average balance required. During a statement cycle, the first twenty checks post to the account with no fee. Thereafter, a small per check fee applies to each check. Check images are stored by the bank indefinitely. Use of BSV's online banking services NetTeller and Bill Payment are free of charge.

Direct deposits, through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network, are transfers of funds originating from a remote source.  Social Security, disability and other government payments may be electronically credited to your account automatically.  Most non-governmental employee retirement plans also offer electronic credits. 

Whether you are retired or still on the job, you benefit from the convenient ACH direct deposit service because deposits are automatic and always on time, even if you cannot get to the bank.  You can relax at home in bad weather or take an extended vacation with the satisfaction of knowing that your deposit has arrived safely at the bank on the proper day.

STUDENT CHECKING
Full-time students age 22 or younger may open a student checking account. Check images are stored by the bank indefinitely. The account allows unlimited check writing, and use of BSV's online banking services NetTeller and Bill Payment free of charge.

ELECTRONIC CHECK IMAGES

All checks written from your BSV account (s) are stored at the bank as electronic images.  Checks are not returned in monthly statements.  Certain checking account types have the option to receive printed check images.  All customers may view their check images online with BSV NetTeller.

Image Statements

This service is optional for Premier Plus Checking, Premier Checking, Advantage Checking, and Regular Checking.  If one of these accounts falls below the minimum or average balance required to waive monthly service fees, and a monthly fee is assessed, there is a slight increase in that fee for electronic check images to cover the cost of production and postage.  Please request the latest BSV Service Charge Schedule for a detailed listing of balance requirements and monthly service fees.

Check images are provided automatically with Money Market Investment Accounts, Advantage Non-Personal Checking, Business Checking and Money Market Business Investment Accounts.

Images Online

Internet users can see check images online at no cost by signing up for BSV NetTeller.  Online check images are available for all checking accounts.  Images are sharp and clear.  You can see both the front and back of a check, print the check and save the image to your computer’s hard drive for later use.
