How to Open a Commercial Bank Account in a Day, or Even Minutes

Before and After DocFox

Commercial account opening is different. Unlike individuals, who often have very similar needs, every business is unique, with different ownership structures, number of signers, and operational requirements, to name a few.

When a business is picking a bank as a partner, it’s a big decision. These choices are largely relationship-driven, and require bankers to be out in their communities with a high level of personal touch. At the same time, opening a commercial account requires a lot of back-office work, with a multitude of forms, documents, and information that all needs to be verified and entered into a variety of different systems.

So how do banks juggle this balance, between maintaining close, up-front relationships with their business clients while eliminating the manual and time-consuming back and forth of the commercial account opening process? Enter DocFox!
