On July 14, 2017, over a hundred people joined Security State Bank in celebrating the one year anniversary of the Castroville Branch.  Dirt Road Cookers, out of Hondo, TX, created an 8 foot pizza with the bank’s logo on it to serve all of the guests.  The weather was warm but everyone was able to come inside the bank and enjoy the pizza, an iced cold drink and some delicious desserts, not to mention the cool air conditioning.

The Castroville Branch has done extremely well at the new location and continues to grow daily.  With the city of Castroville growing at a rapid pace, Security State Bank is honored to be a part of the new growth and looks forward to continuing to be a vital part of the community.

Special thanks to all of the guests that braved the heat and came out to help celebrate this milestone for the bank!

Security State Bank is pleased to announce that your new Chip MasterCard debit card will arrive in May.   Please discontinue using and destroy your VISA debit card as soon as you receive your new MasterCard chip card and it has been activated.  To activate your new card, simply follow the activation instructions on the sticker located on the front of the new card.  You can also activate your card by using your PIN number at an ATM or at a merchant.

Your Security State Bank MasterCard Debit Card ….

• • Has an EMV Chip inside of it. Just insert the card into the card reader for advanced protection against fraud. If the merchant is not set up to use EMV Chips, just swipe the card like normal.
  • PIN number. Your PIN number has NOT changed. You will continue to use the same PIN number that you used on your VISA card.
  • Pre-authorized Automatic Debit Transactions. You will need to submit your NEW MasterCard debit card number and expiration date to the originator of the transaction (i.e. Dish, Direct TV, cable). Your VISA card will not work after August 30, 2017.

Your MasterCard Debit Card is welcome at millions of locations that accept MasterCard debit cards. As always, we welcome your comments and suggestions. If you have any questions about your new card, you can contact any of our branches. Thank you for banking with Security State Bank.
