When you visit a Service Center, please sign in to see one of our Member Advocates. The Member Advocate will first make sure your business is eligible as a Suncoast account and then ask for basic information concerning what your business does. This includes information about who owns and controls the business. This also includes a monthly transaction estimate for incoming and outgoing funds. While you are at the branch, you can also set up SunNet Online Banking access, order a free business debit card, order checks and obtain information on other business products and services to assist your business.

That depends on how the business is filed with the state. You may have a one-signer account if the business is a sole proprietorship, a one-member LLC or a one-officer corporation. For a partnership or LLC, all named members need to be on the account. For a corporation with multiple officers at least two officers must be on the account.
