What you’ll need to open a business deposit account
When opening a business checking or savings account, all banks are required to obtain information verifying the business as well as the individuals associated with the business.
- If you open an account in a banking location, all owners, partners, and key executives need to be present at account opening and should provide:
- Original copies of your business documents
- Taxpayer Identification Number for both the business and the individuals opening the account (e.g. Employer Identification Number for the business and Social Security Number for individuals)
- Personal identification, which must be issued by a government agency (e.g. drivers license or passport)
- If you apply online, you will receive instructions for how to provide us with your business documents.
