Savings
If your business needs ready access to cash, stash your extra funds in our simple savings account and earn interest on your hard-earned money. Just maintain a minimum balance of $100 to avoid paying the $6 monthly service charge.
Smart Money Market
Our Smart Money Market account is also a smart business decision, especially for larger deposits. Your FDIC-insured funds will earn higher rates than in a typical savings account, plus you can easily avoid minimum-balance-based monthly fees.
Simply set up and maintain a monthly incoming automatic transfer from another Bank Independent account to:
- Open a Smart Money Market account with a minimum opening balance of $1, and
- Avoid a monthly service charge
If you don't want to set up a monthly transfer from another BI account, you can still enjoy a Smart Money Market with:
- A minimum $10,000 opening deposit, and
- A monthly service charge of $15 if your balance dips below $10,000
Certificate of Deposit (CD)
A Bank Independent CD is an excellent way for businesses to turn savings into earnings. The secure rate ensures maximum returns with minimum risk. Choose from short- or long-term CDs and fixed or bump rate options.
