Forums: Discussions for entrepreneurs and small business.

 I am looking to move to a new a bank for my small business. I am a sole proprietor and I don`t think the traditional "Business Accounts" that most banks offer fits for me. They are just too expensive.

 In that vein, does anyone know a good place to get custimozed stamps for "For Deposit Only..." type stamps that I can put my account # and business name on?. I want to keep the account simple and in my own name. Thanks for your help. 

I sell the stamps. They are relatively inexpensive.

Let me know if I can help.

Good Luck!

Doug

Washington Mutual happens to be a sponsor of the StartupNation.

A few days ago, I got a new personal checking account with them.  it is absolutely free!

Their business account is now free too...no catches or strings!  We will be using them for our TechShop venture (www.techshop.ws).

No, I don`t work for StartupNation or WaMu!
 

I have to agree with JimN.  I`ve been using Washington Mutual for over a year now for my business checking and the only money I`ve spent was for the checks.   I`ve referred a couple of friends to them so far...and nobody has come back upset.

Text is so black and white...it doesn`t have as much color as the tone in somebodies voice.

I`ll share in the praise of WaMu.  That`s where I found out about Startup Nation, so for that reason  and the no fee personal and business accounts, they get our vote.  Not sure if it`s still this way but the only thing was, we had to open the business account with $100 but are not required to keep that or any other specific amount/minimum in there.

Thank you everyone for your help, I will check out Washington Mutual. I will also follow up offline with Forms Guy. Thanks again everyone!

While I bank at WaMu for the convenience of local branches in my neighborhood that are open late, I don`t think they are the best choice for new businesses. WaMu refuses to even consider handling your merchant services (credit card processing) if you are a sole proprietorship in business less than two years. Also, their tellers and telephone customer service people really don`t understand the needs of business clients. I went to a branch to do an urgent wire transfer to a vendor, and they told me there was no one on duty who knew how to do one!
