At Florida Citizens Bank, we've made personal checking
accounts simple to access. We have
convenient lobby and drive-thru hours, with drive-thru banking on
Saturdays. You can also arrange for direct
deposit of your paycheck, pension or social security checks.
Take a look at our many different Checking and Savings Accounts to serve your needs:
REGULAR CHECKING
Our regular checking account offers convenience with no limit to the
number of deposits or checks.
Limitations:
Requires $200 opening deposit.
Account
Fees: A $10 a month maintenance fee is assessed
if a minimum daily balance of $500 or an average daily balance of $1,500 is not
met. The average daily balance is calculated by adding the principal in the
account for each day of the period and dividing that figure by the number of
days in the period. Additional fees are listed on our "Account Fees" schedule.
SENIOR 50 ACCOUNT
To be eligible, customers must be 50 years or older. No minimum
balance, checking at no charge. Additional fees are listed in our "Account

FREE LIFETIME CHECKING
There is no monthly maintenance charge. Florida Citizens Bank will
allow you 2 free Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF) checks per calendar year. No
canceled checks or copies of canceled checks will be returned with your monthly
statement. You will be allowed 2 copies of paid checks or deposited items free
per statement cycle. Additional copies are $5 each. The cost of checks will
vary depending on the style ordered. Free Lifetime Checking will terminate in
the event Florida Citizens Bank is sold to, or merged with, another banking
entity.
NEW CHANCE
CHECKING
Through a relationship with Genpass Technologies, New Chance Checking
offers those individuals who have a blemished banking history an opportunity to
once again open a bank account. Florida Citizens Bank will open a checking
account that is connected to Genpass Technologies through an electronic Pay
Card. Each time the account holder deposits funds, FCB will transfer the
available funds to the Pay Card which can be used anywhere PIN based
transactions are permitted. There will be an initial administrative fee for the
Pay Card of $18. The card and PIN number will be mailed directly to the account
holder. Each time FCB transfers funds to the account holders card there will be
a $7.50 transfer fee deducted from the transfer amount. Genpass Technologies
charges additional fees for transactions and these fees are disclosed
separately in the "Pay Card Enrollment Authorization".

deposit, funds may be on hold for 7 business days. Every day is considered a
