Recommended Procedures

Under Basic Banking for Massachusetts, it is expected that participating banks will use their customary account opening procedures. However, banks are strongly encouraged to exercise flexibility, such as accepting alternative forms of identification and residency.

  yes no We accept alternative forms of identification and residency to open basic checking and/or savings accounts

  yes no We fully disclose all services counted as a checking account withdrawal

  yes no Both the basic checking and basic savings accounts can only be closed for the same reasons other accounts are closed

  yes no Persons with a basic checking or basic savings accounts are not limited exclusively to ATMs or any other form of non-teller related delivery

I have reviewed the guidelines for Basic Banking for Massachusetts and have indicated above that our bank’s accounts meet the stated guidelines.
