Q: Do I need an EIN to open a Business Checking Account?
Yes, to open a bank account for your business, you’ll need the Employer Identification Number (EIN) of your business. Additionally, be prepared to provide business formation documents, ownership agreements (for partnerships and corporations), business license(s), and your state-issued personal identification.
Q: What business banking accounts should I have in addition to a checking account?
Every company will have different financial management needs. However, for any business, it’s important to have cash reserves set aside in a separate, interest-bearing account like a savings account or money market account , to be used for large expenses or during cyclical periods of low income. You may also choose to utilize a sweep account to automatically direct cash overflow to your savings account.

Before opening a business bank account, your startup will need to register its business name and obtain an EIN (tax ID number).

Once you have your EIN, you can open a checking account, using startup funds to make an initial deposit.
