Checking Account
Military Small Business Checking Account
Designed specifically for veterans who are starting or managing their own small business.
- No Balance Requirement
- No need to maintain a specific balance in your account to avoid fees. This offers more flexibility for small businesses with unpredictable cash flow.
- No Minimum Balance to Open the Account
- Veterans can open the account without needing a large initial deposit, making it easier for new business owners to get started.
- Complimentary Debit Card Access
- Enjoy free debit card access for seamless business transactions, allowing you to make payments and withdrawals as needed for business expenses.
- Fraud Prevention – Positive Pay Tool
- Protect your business with Positive Pay, a complimentary fraud prevention tool that helps detect and prevent unauthorized checks from being processed against your account. It’s a safeguard for business security at no extra cost.
- Free Initial Business Checks
- Receive a complimentary box of business checks when you open the account, making it easier to handle payments that require paper checks.
Savings Account
Military Small Business Savings Account
Designed specifically for veterans who are starting or managing their own small business.
- Waived Minimum Balance Requirement
- Small businesses owned by military members (or veterans) don’t need to maintain a minimum balance in the account, which is often a standard requirement for traditional savings accounts. This could make managing finances easier for small businesses that are still growing or have fluctuating cash flows.
