Before You Open a Business Account
Don't choose a bank simply because someone recommended it. Ask questions and compare what each bank offers. Consider the following:
• Business Support: Does the bank provide business advisory services, networking opportunities, or capacity-building programmes?
• Business Loans: Does the bank offer SME loans, working capital, or asset financing?
• Digital Banking: Is the mobile app reliable and easy to use?
• Transaction Charges: Compare transfer fees, account maintenance charges, and other banking costs.
• Payment Solutions: Can they provide POS terminals, payment gateways, payroll services, and collection solutions?
• Customer Service: How responsive is the bank when you need assistance?
• Accessibility: Are branches and ATMs conveniently located for your business?
Etc.
