Business Checking Account FAQs
Answer: A business checking account is an account at a financial institution used to store money, allowing you to deposit or withdraw money for your business as needed. A business checking account can separate your finances from your personal accounts, helping you keep track of your business's money.
Answer: It's recommended that a business bank account be opened at the launch of your business and after any articles of incorporation and other applicable documents have been signed. If you're a part of a non-profit, LLC, or some other business partnership, you can open a bank account after all the documentation associated with the business structure has been formalized.
If you're already completing transactions or conducting business, you should be able to open a business bank account now.
Answer: The kind of documentation required to open a business bank account depends on the type of business and bank. Call us at (800) 480-2001 or visit any Huntington branch to learn more about the specific documentation needed based on your business and the account, but in general you'll need:
- Valid and official forms of identification
- Social security number or employer identification number
- Legal document identifying the structure of the business and name of the business
- One or more representatives from the business who is authorized to open a bank account on behalf of the company
Not every employee or partner of a business is authorized to do banking on behalf of the business. To open an account, you'll need an authorized representative to handle the paperwork with the bank.
Answer: At Huntington, you can open Unlimited Plus Business Checking, Unlimited Business Checking, and Business Checking 100 online in minutes.
To open an account online, you must be a U.S. citizen, 18 years and older, and authorized to open accounts and transact on behalf of the business. You'll then need to gather the required documents and navigate to the correct bank account application, following the directions provided.
Answer: Business bank accounts and commercial bank accounts are both deposit accounts specifically for companies, but they typically accommodate different company sizes. Business bank accounts can benefit a range of business sizes–from start-ups to larger companies with high monthly transaction volume. Commercial bank accounts are best suited for large corporations, public agencies, or not-for-profit organizations with many treasury management needs.
Answer: A business bank account has many advantages:
- Separation — A business checking account keeps your personal banking accounts separate from your business banking. Separating your business funds from your personal can help provide a clear line of ownership to outside parties and helps keep your accounting more organized.
- A means to do business — A business checking account lets you process payments in a professional manner. Customers pay the business, not you.
- Cashflow — Some business accounts come with lines of credit or credit cards and this can help boost your purchasing power when you need to spend money to make money.

#The business can avoid the monthly checking maintenance fee ($40.00) for any statement period on this checking account when the business keeps a total deposit relationship balance of at least $50,000 in a combination of deposits held directly by us. Eligible deposits are this checking account and any other checking, money market, savings, or certificate of deposit (CD) account(s) owned by the business, but deposits owned by separate legal entities (even those that share EINs or TINs) are not eligible. We figure the total relationship deposit balance each month by adding the average daily balance for all eligible deposit account balances of the business for the applicable statement period. We calculate the average daily balance by totaling the balances in your account from the end of each day in the applicable statement period and dividing that amount by the number of days in that period. However, for new accounts or closed accounts, we only count the number of days that the account was open during the applicable statement period for purposes of determining the average daily balance. Personal Checking Account Relationship Benefit: The business can also avoid the monthly checking maintenance fee for any statement period on this business checking account when a business owner maintains a personal Huntington Platinum Perks Checking® Account, Private Client Checking Account, or a SmartInvest Checking® Account through that same statement period. Business ownership for the purposes of this benefit is defined as a 25% or greater beneficial ownership interest and is determined by information in Huntington's client records. To remove the benefit of a personal relationship, the owner of the personal checking account will need to contact (800) 480-2001.
