The Student version is a debit card only account, no checks will be issued. Adult signature is required to open an account. At age 25, this account becomes a Cashback Checking non-student account and is subject to those account requirements.
Qualifying transactions include debit POS transactions, BillPay, and Mobile Deposit. Cashback reward is capped at $20 per statement cycle.
Must have Online Banking to enroll in eStatements.
Montecito Bank & Trust does not charge for the Mobile Banking service; however, your wireless provider may charge for Internet access and text messages. Please check with your wireless provider.
For Access Checking and Private Access Checking accounts, Montecito Bank & Trust waives the fees for the use of non-MB&T ATMs when the fee or surcharge is identified as a separate transaction. For Cashback Checking, if you use a non-MB&T ATM, MB&T will charge a fee in addition to the fee or surcharge that may be assessed by the ATM owner/operator. MB&T will refund up to $15 in total fees or surcharges per statement cycle when the ATM/POS fee or surcharge is identified as a separate transaction.
