Analyze business bank account terms for transaction limits, cash deposit restrictions, and account closure risks that impact operations.
Business accounts have different rules than personal. Know the limitations before your operations depend on them.
Many online business banks limit free transactions (ACH, wires). Go over and pay $0.50-1+ per transaction. Wire limits can delay payroll.
Most online business banks don't accept cash deposits at all. Cash-heavy businesses may need additional accounts.
Banks can close business accounts with little notice for "risk" concerns. Industry type, transaction patterns, or chargebacks trigger closures.
Standard FDIC coverage is $250K per ownership category. Business accounts with larger balances may need sweep networks.
Check which accounting software (QuickBooks, Xero) and payroll systems integrate directly. Manual exports waste time.
Can your accountant access the account? Can you set spending limits for employees? Role-based access varies widely.
Paste the account agreement to identify operational limitations.
