There are many important reasons a business owner should have a business bank account separate from his or her personal account, including:
Tax purposes. No matter what type of business you have—online, run from your home, or in a brick-and- mortar location—a business bank account will help simplify tracking expenses and income and make filing easier at tax time. With your business interest checking account at SCCU, you have fast online access to account records that can help at tax time as well.
Legal status. Mixing your personal and business financial activities may be a problem if you have a corporation or LLC and your business faces legal issues involving liability.
Convenience. Your SCCU business interest checking account includes free mobile and online banking, free online bill payment, and a free Business Visa ® Debit Card that save you time and make managing your company's money easier.
At SCCU, we have a $4,500 minimum to open a business account, which gives you membership in our credit union, access to a range of convenient free services and more.

- Free Business Visa ® Debit Card
