A business savings account is a type of bank account that allows you to save money while earning interest.
Business savings accounts are similar to personal savings accounts. They're used to store and grow a business's funds. The business places excess money in an interest-bearing savings account with a set return percentage. The type of savings account depends on how often and quickly a business needs to access its funds.
There are several advantages to opening a business savings account.
To open a business savings account, you can talk with a financial services representative at your local branch.
The documentation you need to open an account will vary based on your business type and needs. Read our business account requirements to learn more about the documents we'll ask for during the account opening process.
The minimum deposit to open a Business Savings account is $100, and the minimum opening deposit for a Premium Money Market Savings account is $25,000.
Yes. You can access your business savings account online—as well as your business checking, business credit card, loans and lines of credit. These accounts and their corresponding balances are automatically available through our online services and will appear each time you log in to your account.
Maintenance fees depend upon several factors. You can avoid the monthly maintenance fee for our business savings account if you maintain a minimum daily balance of $300. For requirements on our other business savings options, read our Disclosure of Products and Fees—Business Accounts and Services (PDF).
Yes. Business accounts allow you to earn interest while also maintaining liquidity. However, the amount of interest you earn depends on the type of business savings account you open.
Account openings are subject to normal bank approval.
The interest rate and annual percentage yield for a certificate of deposit account, or CD, are determined by the type of CD selected and the opening deposit or renewal balance. The annual percentage yield assumes interest remains on deposit until maturity. A penalty may be imposed for early withdrawal of principal. Any withdrawal of principal or interest prior to maturity will reduce earnings on a CD. The required minimum opening deposit is $500 and depends on the type of CD selected. Contact your local branch for more details.
