Free Checking with No Strings Attached!
One of the first rules of owning and operating a business is to separate business transactions from personal transactions. Not only is this separation necessary for tax purposes, but it prevents you from using too much of your personal finances for business purposes and vice versa. Lanco FCU offers free business checking to all types of companies, including sole proprietors, limited liability companies (LLCs), partnerships, and corporations.
When you open a free business checking account with us in Lancaster, PA, you get so much more than a bank account. You’ll enjoy access to products and services you need, like checking and savings accounts, business debit cards, and loans and lines of credit. Also, when you work with our credit union, you can manage your business checking online or over the phone and get friendly, personalized service from your neighbors right here in Lancaster, PA! As a Lanco FCU business member, you’ll have free access to these additional services:
No Minimum Balance
If you’re tired of other banks charging you fees for going below a minimum threshold, Lanco FCU has the solution for you! Our business checking accounts feature no minimum balance requirements. Just maintain your $5 membership share to ensure you remain a member of our fantastic credit union!
No Monthly Fees
Forget monthly service fees! We don’t require a certain number of monthly transactions or cash deposits, so we never apply ridiculous fees to your account for missing those marks. Your business works hard to earn money, and we believe you should keep more of it—not give part to your financial institution.
No Per-Transaction Charges
If your customers’ money is being deposited directly into your account, you’ll enjoy no fees when you open a business account with Lanco FCU! Some providers can charge between 0.5% and 5% of the transaction plus fixed fees, but when you trust your business accounts with us, you won’t have to worry!
Free Business Starter Checks
Start your business transactions immediately with a free starter pack of duplicate checks. Want customized checks? Choose to get a $10.00 credit toward your choice of business checks instead of the starter pack. Either way, you’ll be able to use your free business checking account from Lanco FCU with ease!
Low-Cost Overdraft Protection
A transaction you forgot to subtract from your balance, a deposit that didn’t go through as planned—whatever caused an overdraft on your account, we have services in place to protect you from excessive fees and returned items. Eligible members can enjoy added peace of mind with Overdraft Privilege.
Use of a Visa Debit Card
Business banking with Lanco FCU is even easier with a Visa® debit card that you can use for purchases anywhere that accepts Visa!
