🇺🇸 United States · Business Banking
Opening business accounts, remote banking options, required documents, and fees.
The US has no single account-opening registry; banks are regulated by the OCC, the Federal Reserve and the FDIC (which insures deposits), plus state regulators. A business typically needs an EIN and formation documents to open an account.
- Deposits at member banks are insured by the FDIC up to the standard limit per depositor, per bank.
- Opening a business account generally requires the EIN, formation documents and owner ID.
- Banks apply federal customer-identification (KYC) and anti-money-laundering checks.
