ATM/VISA CHECK CARDS
One Card allows you to avoid the delays of check approval and gives you easy access to cash. First State Bank debit card is readily accepted at retailers. The purchase amounts are then automatically deducted from your checking account. It's also an ATM card, giving you 24 hour access to cash whenever and wherever you need it. Because First State Bank is a member of the No-Surcharge program we are providing the benefits of this program to you. Just look for the No-Surcharge (NC) logo at ATMS, and you won't pay a surcharge fee! All this convenience in one little card!
Please keep in mind that when making your travel plans to alert the bank before you go and always bring a secondary form of payment.
If your card is lost or stolen after business hours, please call 1-888-263-3370.
CASHIER'S CHECKS
A Cashier's Check represents guaranteed funds and is the much safer equivalent of cash. The Cashier's Check is ideal anytime there is an exchange of ownership interests of property title for the purchaser's payment. Selling a car or boat? Before you hand over the signed and notarized title, make sure you get paid. Payment by cash is fine but not really safe. Payment by Cashier's Check may be a much better alternative.
Cashier's Checks from First State Bank are available to bank customers in exchange for cash or other guaranteed/collected funds.
A word of caution: Cashier's Checks are not subject to a stop payment order and replacement requires a lost instrument affidavit and may require a lost instrument bond from your insurance provider. These items should be treated with special care because they may be difficult to replace.
Our tellers issue these items and a small fee is charged.

For security and convenience we accept Direct Deposit of your Social Security, VA benefits, pension benefits or paychecks!

NOTARY SERVICES
Notary services are provided free of charge to our customers. For your protection, we may require proper I.D. with a photo and signature.
