Outsource or in-house?

Ask yourself early on what you’re good at and where you might need outsourced help.

1. An earnings credit will be calculated on the collected average daily balance. The earnings rate is determined monthly by the credit union. Charges are subtracted from the earnings credit. A negative net difference will result in a net charge for that statement cycle. A positive net difference results in no charges for that statement cycle. Positive net differences are not paid to the account or carried forward to the next statement cycle, but they may be combined with the analysis results of other checking accounts of the business.
2. If combined monthly items deposited and cleared exceed 300 or aggregate monthly cash/coin exceeds $10,000 per month for two consecutive months, the account will be converted to a business growth checking account.
3. Cash or coin transaction processing for deposits or withdrawals. Charges are based on aggregated deposits and withdrawals that exceed $10,000 per month. Simple application required; on approved credit (OAC).
