Checking Accounts
For most people, a checking account is one of the most basic and widely used financial services available. At Somerset Hills Bank we offer a wide range of checking accounts to help you manage your personal finances.
From our Regular Checking to our Paramount Checking Account that pays a premium tiered rate on your account balance with additional money management benefits, we have a checking account for you. In addition to competitive fees and interest rates, any one of our checking accounts can be linked to a VISA Check Card or ATM Card. Also, if you qualify, our Check Line Account can be linked to your checking account to provide you with overdraft protection.
Whatever your check writing needs, we can help you manage your finances easily and efficiently.
