You might have noticed a few changes around The Savings Bank’s website!

Our site isn’t the only thing that’s changing. More people are doing their banking from home, and it’s important to know what tools you have at your fingertips.

Financial tech (or FinTech) allows you to take an active role in your banking. By closely monitoring your accounts, you can bank with peace of mind.

Here are just a few of the items for a well-rounded FinTech Toolbox.

1. Online and Mobile Banking allow you to check your balance, pay bills, and deposit checks at home—or on the go! The Savings Bank offers MyTSBMobile so you can bank via your smartphone. Check it out on The App Store or Google Play.
2. Debit Card Management. It’s important to be proactive in preventing debit card fraud. Always take care when using your card online, and never let someone borrow your card. Apps like CardValet send you notifications every time your card is used. It even lets you turn off your debit card if it’s lost or stolen. How cool is that?
3. Know Your Payment Options. There are many modern ways to send money to friends and family. Programs like Venmo and PayPal allow you to send funds with just a few clicks and are available to anyone with a bank account. These platforms are convenient, but it’s important to use caution. Take measures to protect your login information, and take time to learn about the security measures and settings your chosen platform offers.
4. Apply For Your Next Loan Online. We get it. You don’t always have time to come in to the bank and fill out paperwork—and that’s okay! Check out your online options. For example, you can apply for a personal loan or mortgage anytime with The Savings Bank’s online loan applications.
5. Simplify Your Bill Payments. Take time to understand your bill payment options. SmartPay lets you pay your TSB loan payment from any bank account. Not only does switching to electronic payments simplify your life, but it’s good for the environment, too. It’s hip to be green!

While our knowledgeable staff will always be there for you, FinTech and our website are here to put power in your own hands.
