Checking Account Options

For members age 50 or better

We have two different checking accounts to help non-profit organizations of varying sizes. Stop in or call us for details at 952-445-0888.

Non-Profit Business Checking
This account is for non-profit, religious, educational, fraternal organizations, municipalities and school districts with lower balances and fewer cash management needs, typically for those non-profits that have less than 150 transactions per month.

Community/Public Funds Checking
This account is for non-profit, religious, educational, fraternal organizations, municipalities and school districts that have moderate to high activity and account balances. Many of these entities use our cash management services to conduct their account receivable and payable activities.

South Metro has several business checking accounts designed for your business based on your balances and activity level.

Depending on your needs, you can add additional online banking modules to support your accounts receivable and payable needs. You can download your checking account activity into accounting software to help save time and speed up your financial analysis.
