Step 1: Open an SSB Account

Our knowledgeable personal bankers will help you determine what account best suits your needs. Once your new account is funded, you can begin using your account immediately. Your check order and debit card will be sent to you in about a week.

As soon as your new account is open, you can enroll online for our 24-hour online banking services.

Step 2: Stop Using Your Previous Checking Account

Be sure to allow time and enough funds to cover any outstanding checks and debit card purchases that still need to clear your account. Bring in your old checks, deposit slips, ATM cards and/or debit cards, and we will shred them for you.

Step 3: Move Your Direct Deposits to SSB

Use the authorization to change direct deposit form below for each deposit that will go into your account to make this process effortless. Please attach a voided check from your new Security State Bank checking account.
Companies you may need to notify about changing direct deposits include:

• Your employer’s human resource department
• The company handling your retirement or pension payments
• Social Security Administration

For Social Security direct deposit changes, call Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213.
