Totally Free Checking

Check us out for value.

When you open a checking account, you expect great service, dependability and value. At Valley Bank, that's what you'll get. Our Totally Free Checking accounts really are free - free of strings like minimum balances or hidden weekly, monthly or annual fees. We also have three great interest-bearing personal accounts to suit your individual needs. Plus, for those larger businesses with higher account activity we have a solution for you- Business Analysis Checking.

When you open your new account, you’ll get something else: a free gift to say ‘Thank You.’  We’ll also buy back your old checks and debit card from another financial institution, and apply up to a $25 credit to your new account.
