If your business doesn’t need the payments acceptance and processing features that Business Essentials has to offer, you can still use it as your checking account and enjoy all the benefits of a U.S. Bank business checking account. Checking and card payment acceptance are approved separately, and approval for checking doesn’t guarantee approval for accepting payments.

Create a Business Essentials account to get started. By offering Merchant Services, you'll be able to accept credit cards and other electronic payments. The merchant acquiring bank acts as an intermediary between your business and the credit card company, handling payment authentication and other technical aspects. Once the electronic payments are processed and approved, the bank will distribute the funds into your merchant account. It's a seamless way to streamline your payment process and ensure that you're able to accept a variety of payment methods from your customers (including but not limited to credit cards, contactless payment methods, digital wallets and Zelle® payments).

To open a business checking account, you’ll need: 

  • Your business’s Employer Identification Number (EIN) or tax ID number, or your Social Security number if you’re a sole proprietorship.
  • Articles of Incorporation, Articles of Organization or a charter or similar legal document that indicates when your company was formed (Not required for sole proprietors).
  • Social Security number for you and anyone else authorized to sign checks or make transactions on behalf of your company.
  • Name, email address and phone number for any additional owners with 25% or more ownership in the company.
