Business Banking
Business Plus Checking
Whether your business is just getting started or has been established for years, having a checking account designed to grow along with it will help you and your employees thrive. Our Business Plus Checking account supports you through every stage of your business’s journey. Business Plus Checking is an ideal solution for businesses that maintain an average-to-higher balance. This checking account rewards businesses with a dividend on the balance kept in the account and provides a full suite of solutions – giving business members the flexibility to managing their accounts the way they want.
An initial deposit of $25.00 is required to open the account. Your monthly fee is based on the number of items* posting to your account and may be waived if you meet average daily balance requirements. For example, each individual check counts as an item. If you have more than 400 items in a month, a per-item charge of $0.40 is added to the monthly maintenance charge.
*An item is any debit or credit to the account with the exception of wires (as they have a separate charge). Transaction items such as Remote Deposit Capture and Payroll (which are processed through Business Bill Payer) are counted as a single item. Please note debt card transactions are not included in the item count.

An initial deposit of $25.00 is required to open the account. You receive 50 free items* per month with a per-item charge of $0.40 for each item after that. Your monthly $5.00 fee is waived if your average daily balance is greater than $999.99.

Health Savings Account (HSA) for Business
The most important part of any business is its employees. 3Rivers wants to ensure that your team is taken care of. By offering a well-rounded health insurance plan, you can ensure your employees have the opportunity to stay healthy.

To help make this process more efficient, our 3Rivers Relationship Managers are more than happy to spend time at your business’s location in order to open these accounts and answer any questions your employees may have.
