How soon is my money available after a deposit?

Deposits of cash or checks transacted in person at a branch or via mobile banking are generally available to you on the first business day after we receive your deposit. Electronic direct deposits will be available on the day we receive the deposit. For determining the availability of your deposits, every day is a business day, except Saturdays, Sundays, and federal holidays. If you make a deposit in-person or by mobile device before 4:00 PM on a business day that we are open, we will consider that day to be the day of your deposit. However, if you make a deposit after 4:00 PM or on a day that we are not open, we will consider that the deposit was made on the next business day we are open.  For deposits at a JVB ATM, 2:00 PM is the end of the business day.

What is overdraft protection and how does it work?

Overdraft protection is a service in which JVB links your savings account with your checking. Should your checking account become overdrawn, this service would pull funds from your savings account, in fifty dollar increments, to cover the negative balance. A service fee may apply, depending on the checking account program you are in.

Does my account have free ATM use?

All of JVB’s accounts are equipped with free ATM use, as long as you are using an ATM owned by Juniata Valley Bank. Standard fees apply when using an ATM owned by any other institution.  JVB has checking accounts that help you avoid ATM fees.  Check out our personal checking accounts here.  

Is there a minimum balance requirement on your checking accounts?

After the initial deposit required to open a checking account, no minimum balance is required. However, certain types of checking accounts may carry a monthly fee if the balance falls below a certain amount at any point during the month. Your JVB representative can help you find the account that’s best for you.

Where is the routing number on my checks?

The routing number can be found across the bottom of your check. JVB's routing number is 031310219.

What information is needed when applying for a checking account?

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account.
