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.

Whenever you leave a job that had a 401k benefit — whether you retired, quit or were fired — you have a decision to make about your 401k plan. The IRS allows you to make a tax-free 401k rollover into another employer-qualified retirement plan or into an Individual Retirement Account (IRA.) Typically, most people will initiate a 401k rollover to a Traditional or Roth IRA. The 401k rollover to IRA, sometimes called a 401k IRA rollover or 401k to Rollover IRA, is a common move people make when they leave their job.

The process begins with your previous employer. They will have paperwork for you to complete that will authorize them to transfer the account. Typically, they need to know the name of the institution that you are transferring the funds to, your IRA account number at that institution and where to send the check. Often, the spouse's notarized signature is also required as is a letter from the receiving institution consenting to accept the funds. Each form is different but we would be happy to look it over and help fill in the blanks!
