Fraud Alert: Scam Text Message 

We’ve received reports of a fraudulent text message circulating that appears to target Bath State Bank customers and non-customers. Please be advised: this message is NOT from us.

Do NOT click any links in the message.

Do NOT provide any personal information.

Delete the message immediately and block the sender.

Bath State Bank will never send unsolicited texts requesting account details or asking you to click on a link. If you have any concerns or believe your information may have been compromised, please contact us directly by phone.

Your security is our top priority.

Driver's licenses provide a reliable means of confirming your identity, enhancing security and reducing the risk of fraud. By verifying your identity with a driver's license, Bath State Bank can significantly reduce the risk of unauthorized transactions. Secure verification helps prevent fraudulent activity on your account.

Although many of our front-line workers know you by name, oftentimes, you might come in contact with a staff member helping on the front line who is not familiar with faces. Having a copy of your I.D. helps us with the transaction and helps keep your account safeguarded. We also might check with you to see if there are any changes in your address, so bank statements or CD renewal notices will be mailed to the correct location.

All banks, us included, must adhere to strict anti-money laundering regulations, so requesting driver's licenses helps us meet these compliance standards. While the request for a driver's license may sometimes feel like an inconvenience, it ultimately serves to protect your account.

Bath State Bank will be closed on Thursday, June 19th for Juneteenth Freedom Day. Our ATMs, online banking and auto phone teller are available 24/7. We will reopen on Friday 20th. Thank you.

We collected 27,272 pounds of electronic waste from 218 recyclers during our eRecycle Event in May! Some 7,548 pounds of that material included tube TVs. We beat our previous record in 2022 by 391 pounds.

For all of you looking for a fun fact - that's about equivalent to the average loaded school bus or two adult elephants.

Thank you to all recyclers who participated.
