Introducing Super Star Checking

August 14, 2026

If you’re looking for a checking account that combines low fees and convenience within a local community bank, Bank of South Texas has great news. We’re proud to introduce Super Star Checking, a new checking account designed to give you more value, flexibility, and access to your money.

Whether you’re a longtime resident of South Texas or new to the area, choosing the right checking account matters. The wrong account can mean hidden fees, limited ATM access, and a bank that doesn’t know your name. Super Star Checking was built to solve exactly those problems, backed by the local decision-making and dedication to customer service that have defined Bank of South Texas for more than 30 years.

What Is Super Star Checking?

Super Star Checking is Bank of South Texas’ newest personal checking account, created for South Texas families and individuals who want an easy, low-cost way to manage their everyday finances. It’s simple to open, easy to maintain, and packed with the features people actually use, including free debit card access, mobile banking, unlimited transactions, and one of the largest surcharge-free ATM networks available.

  • Free Debit Card: Access your money anywhere with a free debit card, accepted for everyday purchases and cash withdrawals.

  • Affordable $5 Monthly Service Charge: Super Star Checking carries a low $5 monthly fee, a fraction of what many other banks charge for similar accounts.
  • Ways to Waive the Monthly Fee: The $5 monthly service charge is waived when you set up direct deposit and maintain a combined balance of $500 or more across your accounts, making it possible to bank completely fee-free.

Why a Local Checking Account Makes a Difference

Choosing where to bank is about more than interest rates and fee schedules. It’s about who picks up the phone when you have a question, and who understands the financial realities of living and working in South Texas. Bank of South Texas has spent over three decades building relationships with local families and businesses, starting with agricultural loans for area farmers and growing into a full-service community bank without ever losing that personal touch.

When you open a Super Star Checking account, you’re not just getting a place to store your money. You’re becoming a valued partner of a bank where decisions are made locally, by bankers who live in your community and understand your goals.

Who Should Consider Super Star Checking?

Super Star Checking is a strong fit for those who want a straightforward, low-fee checking account with digital tools and dependable ATM access. It’s especially valuable for anyone who already receives direct deposit, since setting that up, along with maintaining a combined balance of $500 or more, eliminates the monthly service charge entirely.
