Personal Checking

Check us out for value.

When you open a checking account at a bank, you expect great service, dependability and value.  What you don’t expect (or need) are strings attached to your account in order to avoid fees.

 

At First Bank of Montana, Totally Free Checking really is FREE!  Free of minimum balances and hidden weekly, monthly or annual fees.  We also have three great interest-bearing accounts to fit your every need.  Plus, 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 or debit card from another financial institution and apply a $10 credit to your new account.

 

Totally Free Checking

A free account for everyone! With no minimum balance or monthly service charge after opening your account.

Easy Interest

A variable interest rate account that earns competitive interest and has no minimum balance or monthly service charge after you open it.

50+ Interest Checking

A variable rate account that earns competitive interest, for those 50 and wiser—with no minimum balance after account opening, and no monthly service charge!

Premier Interest Checking

Looking to earn more? Simply maintain a balance of $1500 or more to earn a higher variable interest rate. You will still earn a competitive rate even if your balance falls below $1,500.
