**MSB = Money service business, such as one that cashes checks for customers.
Two-Signatures Required: Any two-signatures required account is subject to a $10 service fee if the account balance falls below $1,000 any time during the monthly cycle.
No minimum balance requirement, 500 free transactions, check images included in the monthly statement and $20K in cash or coin services at no charge. It doesn't get any better than this! Free Business Checking is a great account for any business, non-profit group or association.
What counts as a transaction? Any type of debit or credit. A deposit item also counts. Example: an account with one electronic credit, one posted check, and one deposit ticket followed by two deposit items has five transactions. Whew! only 495 to go! Transactions above 500 per monthly cycle cost 25¢ each. Coin and cash services above $20K per monthly cycle cost $4 per thousand.

Two Signatures Required Exclusion: Accounts with two-signatures required will be charged $10 per monthly cycle if the balance falls below $1000.
This is the best account for a high-transaction business. It builds up credits to offset fees from activity and maintenance. We've found that a typical business that maintains a balance of about $15,000 generates enough credits to avoid most, if not all, activity fees. Actual results vary depending upon balance and activity. There is NO minimum balance requirement, which means the account may dip to nearly $0 during the monthly cycle without incurring a fee.
The earnings credit is calculated at 1% (annual rate) of the average monthly collected balance. The credit is used to offset maintenance and per-item fees and applies only to the month it is earned. Excess credits are not carried forward.
If you would like a business account that earns interest, check out our "Business Interest" account.

Start earning interest with a balance of at least $500 (maintain $2500 to avoid fees). Interest tiers are stepped at $25K, $100K and $500K. The account is insured by the FDIC.
Money Market transactions are federally regulated to no more than six (6) convenience withdrawals per monthly cycle.
To avoid the limits, consider the following:
Fees: Over-the-limit withdrawals cost $10 each. A balance-requirement fee of $8 per month is imposed unless a current balance of at least $2500 is maintained at all times.
Legislation to raise the withdrawal limit on Money Market accounts to 24 per month has been proposed several times, but never approved. For the time being, the Federal Reserve requires banks to maintain reserves on transaction accounts (i.e. checking), but not on Savings or Money Market accounts. Regulators look closely at the accounts to make sure the transaction limits are being enforced.
Non-Profit Accounts: We recommend Free Business Checking for your non-profit group or association.
Business Savings: Available to any type of business, including DBA, Sole Proprietor, Corporations, etc. Interest accrues daily and pays quarterly. Interest rate may vary. FDIC insured. Withdrawals are limited to 6 per month.
Business Certificate of Deposit: Available to any type of business located in the State of Utah. FDIC insured. Click this link for CD rates.
Business Account Analysis: This account is very similar to our Commercial Checking with one important difference.
The earnings credit offsets a broader list of bank services, including wires and stop payments.
Account analysis is recommended for businesses with heavy wire or stop-pay volume.
Business Sweep Account: This account earns interest, is not FDIC Insured, but is backed with US Treasuries. It pays a competitive rate of interest to businesses with excess cash.
The account works by sweeping funds from a transaction account (checking) to a separate investment account that earns interest. Fast facts are as follows:
