Our business money market targets businesses with larger deposit balances with limited check writing ability. The money market has a higher tiered interest rate based on balance.

Of course! Flagship Bank provides a sweep service that can also be set up to help streamline this process. Contact us today!

Business savings requires a daily minimum balance of $50, a $5 monthly service charge occurs if the daily balance falls below $50.

Business money market requires a daily minimum balance of $2,500, a $10 monthly service charge occurs if the daily balance falls below $2,500.

  • Savings accounts, money market accounts, or certificate of deposits can provide different benefits for your business. And chances are, life circumstances might change which is best for your business. If you need to start small with a minimal deposit, a regular savings account is likely the best place to start. You'll get the security of FDIC insurance and immediate access to your money when you need it.
  • If you have access to a larger amount of money that is required for regular business operating expenses, a money market account may be best for your business, but please keep in mind that this type of account also requires a higher initial deposit and minimum balance.
  • Feeling confident you won't need your savings for a while? A certificate of deposit may be the option since it will generally offer higher interest rates among savings accounts, but the tradeoff is that it will have early withdrawal penalties if immediate access to the money is needed. Learn more about certificate of deposits options on our Rate page.

This can help you manage your cash flow, help protect you from fraudulent charges, maintain control over your employee spending and help make tax preparation easier. Plus you'll get the convenience of using a credit card for everyday purchases while earning cash or travel rewards (most cards) for your business. Finally, established businesses can use a small business credit card to start building credit for the business.
