- For each account owner and signer:
- Primary form of ID, usually a valid driver’s license with a current address. If address is not current, bring a document such as a utility bill showing your current address
- Secondary form of ID, usually a debit or credit card from another financial institution
- A business membership opening deposit of $115 ($5 for the business prime share, a $10 one-time membership fee, and $100 to open your business checking account)
- If a tax-exempt organization, a copy of the IRS 501(c) (3) approval letter
As the owner of Bread & Honey Cafe, I’ve always loved Unitus. As soon as they moved into the neighborhood they have been the most supportive people. I feel like they really understand how hard it is to be a small business.
