FAQ

Opening a checking account is simple! You can either visit your local Newtown Savings Bank branch or open an account online.
If you are a current customer, all you need is a driver's license or state ID and your social security number. For new customers, you will need to bring two forms of ID, a valid primary ID (driver's license, passport, or state ID) and a secondary (non-picture) ID as well as your social security number. For minors under 18, if they do not have a primary ID we will accept two secondary IDs.
Checking accounts require a $25 minimum deposit to open. Some accounts also have a monthly maintenance fee. You can compare checking accounts to learn more about checking account types, features and maintenance fees. 
All deposits can be completed in branch, at a Newtown Savings Bank ATM, or after hours using the night drop. Checks can be deposited using mobile deposit through the NSB app (limits may apply). You can also set up direct deposit with most employers allowing for a faster process while eliminating the use of paper checks. 
 
If this is your first time doing a mobile deposit, the first step is to enroll. Once approved, select 'Deposit' from your dashboard. Enter the amount, select the account (if enrolled with more than one account), the app will require access to your camera in order to take a picture of the front and back of your check. Tap 'Continue' and you are all set!

**If you are under age 18, this account must be opened in branch and requires a parent or guardian as a joint account owner.  No Overdraft Privileges available for Student Checking account customers under 18 years old.
***Overdraft protection services are not available for your New Start Checking account. We will determine in our sole discretion whether to pay or return any items presented for payment if your account does not contain sufficient available funds. Whether we pay or do not pay an item for which there are insufficient available funds in your New Start account, we will not charge an overdraft or insufficient funds fee. A fee will apply for cash withdrawals at ATMs not operated by Newtown Savings Bank. This fee is separate from any fee the ATM operator may charge you. A paper statement fee will apply if you have not opted in to receive eStatements (waived if you are age 62 or older). Good standing means the account is not overdrawn or hasn't been misused.

Here's what you need to open an account:

  • U.S. Social Security Number + a valid form of identification: i.e. Drivers License, Passport, etc.
  • A funding source: i.e. debit/credit card or U.S. checking/savings account
  • A few minutes of your time
