Business Checking
Any account which is intended
to hold funds belonging to a business, or to pay
business expenses or payroll, must be opened as
a commercial account. We offer both savings and
checking accounts for commercial customers. In
addition, corporate customers can purchase
certificates of deposit, with the exception of
IRA's.
