Looking for Business Bank With Zero Balance Accounts, Low Fees, Online Banking

Mar 10, 2007 0 Replies

I am looking for a new business bank for a small business in the San Francisco Bay Area of California that has the following features:


- support for zero balance account (ZBA) structures


- low monthly fees for zero balance accounts


- online banking


- excellent security features, such as ability to designate a particular ZBA as incoming funds only (i.e., make it impossible to remove money from the account by a check)


- interest paid on business account balances without requiring purchase of certificates of deposit



I would like to find a way to support around 4 to 5 ZBAs and one parent account, with online banking, for about $150 total per month, including all checking writing fees and maybe up to 10 wires in and out total.



I have looked at Wells Fargo, but there proposal was at $300/month, not very competitive I thought. Our current bank's fees are getting outrageous, including such gems as $60 wire transfer fees and $150 account maintenance per zero balance account.



Are there any banks that might be able to meet the above requirements?
