DEKALB – Castle Bank has introduced a free checking account with automatic overdraft forgiveness and no hidden fees.

Market President Timothy A. Struthers said the account is an expression of the bank’s operating philosophy that stresses “integrity in every interaction, respect for our customers and passion for all that we do.

“This isn’t a special promotion, one-time offer or ‘act now’ opportunity,” Struthers said. “It embodies how we’ve always done business but with a renewed enthusiasm for doing what’s right for the customer.”
