Checking Accounts

We offer a deposit product to meet your needs.

Select a Checking Account (from the list below) to fit your financial situation. Complete the New Customer Information Form here.   You may also apply for a debit card which will be directly linked to your checking account.  Apply here. Additionally, we will need the following documents:

  • Copy of your Driver’s License
  • Copy of your Social Security Card*
  • Copy of a bill that you have received by mail. (This is to prove your mailing address.)

*If you do not have your Social Security Card, we can complete a W-9 for you to sign.

We recommend that you either fax these documents along with the completed New Customer Information Form to 785-742-2391, place the documents in our night drop box, or bring the documents to our drive-up at our Garden Bank location.

Do not email these documents to us unless you have access to an email system that can encrypt the documents.

If you’re with another institution, switch your Accounts to Citizens State Bank & Trust anytime from anywhere. It’s quick and easy with our Switch Kit.
