Confirming Bank Account & Initial Contribution

Business Bank Account

Setting Up Account:

You can work with any bank to set up your Business Bank Account, however you'll want to select a bank that works well with our accounting software. This article tells you more about the banks that work well and don't work well. https://help.collective.com/en/articles/4779703-business-checking-and-credit-card-accounts

You can also work with our partner, Mercury. Mercury is a service that enables you to open a free business bank account with one of their partner FDIC-member banks.

Once you've decided which route you'd like to take, log on to your Collective Dashboard to start the next step to be routed to Mercury or select that you'll be opening up an account yourself.
