Treasurer's Checks

A Treasurer’s check is drawn on the bank’s own funds and signed by a bank employee. These checks are treated as guaranteed funds because the bank, rather than the purchaser, is responsible for paying the amount. They are commonly required for real estate and brokerage transactions. There is a small fee for these checks and they are only issued to bank customers.

Wire Transfers

Wire transfers help move money electronically from one person to another, domestically and internationally. This is an effective, safe way to transfer funds between banks. For a small fee, our customers can quickly send payments to others. The cutoff time is 1PM for International wires and 2PM for Domestic wires each business day.

Safe Deposit Box

A safe deposit box is located inside a bank vault and is used to store valuables. A financial institution rents out safe deposit boxes, and they can be accessed with keys. For a small annual fee you can safely store your important papers, etc. You can access your box during the bank’s normal operating hours.

Notary Services

In the United States, a Notary Public is a person appointed by a state government and whose primary role is to serve the public as an impartial witness when important documents are signed. This service is available at each office of Woodlands Bank and is only available to bank customers.
