A business checking account is designed specifically for business transactions. It allows you to separate your personal and business finances, which is essential for accurate record-keeping, tax reporting, and maintaining liability protection for LLCs and corporations. How do I send an invoice or accept a payment through my checking account? Once your account is open, log in to online or mobile banking and look for the invoicing and payment acceptance features. You can send a professional invoice in just a few taps, or share a secure payment link with your customers via text, email, or your website. When customers pay, funds deposit directly into your checking account, typically within two business days. What does it cost to accept card and ACH payments? Digital invoicing and payment acceptance are included with your business checking account at no monthly fee. When a customer pays by card, a 3.49% processing fee applies per transaction. For ACH bank transfers, the fee is 1% per transaction. These are competitive, flat-rate fees with no hidden charges or equipment costs. Is accounting functionality included with my checking account? Accounting and financial reporting tools are included at no additional cost with Business Select Checking and Business Premium Checking. This includes a cash flow dashboard, automated transaction categorization, real-time profit and loss statements, and balance sheet reporting — all accessible directly inside online and mobile banking. What is Tap to Pay on iPhone? Tap to Pay on iPhone lets you accept contactless in-person payments using just your iPhone. No additional terminals or hardware required. Accept all major credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, and other digital wallets. Funds are typically deposited within two business days. Requires iPhone XS or later. How can I avoid the monthly maintenance fee? Business Basic Checking has no monthly maintenance fee. For Business Select Checking, the $25 monthly fee is waived when you maintain a minimum daily balance of $5,000. For Business Premium Checking, the $30 monthly fee is waived when you maintain $25,000 in combined deposit relationship balances. ## Ready to Get Started?
