Multi-Client Management

Recommended for Businesses such as lawyers and property managers that manage the financial accounts of several clients

  • A series of accounts opened for an entity, composed of a checking account for the master entity and linked savings sub-accounts for funds under their control
  • One master account is opened and subsequent sub-accounts for each of the business’s clients are opened as necessary
  • The client can simply deposit funds for a new account into the master and fax over instructions for creation of the sub-account
    • The only information required for creating the sub-account is the business client’s name and Social Security Number or TIN

Key Benefits

  • Separate 1099’s are automatically sent for each sub-account
  • Funds in sub-accounts earn competitive money market rates
  • Sub-accounts can be added easily
  • Client receives one statement for all accounts
  • Monthly statements provide multi-level summaries and detailed information regarding deposits, disbursements, balances and interest earnings in each individual sub-account

Things to Consider

  • No minimum opening deposit
  • No monthly fees
  • No withdrawals may be taken directly from a sub-account. All withdrawals must be made from the master account
  • All sub-accounts must be savings accounts
  • Business Information Form should be completed for the master entity
