Are you being charged per transaction?

As a business owner, you have enough to worry about. You work hard for your money and shouldn’t be paying any extra or unnecessary costs. Instead, save yourself the expense and the hassle by finding a financial institution that has little to no fees.

Take Abigail for example, a local photographer who owns a small business. When her business started doing very well, she was surprised to see new charges from her financial institution – fees they attributed to “too much account activity.”

Perhaps you’re as surprised as she was. Look it up: most banks charge fees when a business checking account exceeds 200 transactions in a single month. Some financial institutions even start charging fees after the first 20 transactions.

Unfortunately, many business owners deal with this fee as they take on more business or larger transactions.

Fortunately, they don’t have to!

Shop around when you’re choosing a financial partner. Plenty of financial institutions (like Visions) offer checking accounts with:

  • No transaction fees
  • No monthly service fees
  • No minimum balance requirements
  • No minimum transaction requirements

When Abigail came to Visions with questions, we were able to assist her by getting her started with our Business Checking and away from those pesky fees – no matter how active her account gets.

Are you concerned about fees and service charges at your bank? Speak with your local credit union and see if they’re charging similar fees. You might find a more affordable option.
