Free Business Checking

Designed for your small business

A Heartland Free Business Checking account is ideal for companies who have 200 or fewer transactions per month and maintain a lower balance.

  • Overview

    We’re here to help you grow.

    Take your start-up, home-based business or small business to the next level with a Heartland Free Business Checking account. This account can be opened with as little as $30 and has no minimum daily balance or monthly maintenance fee. Plus, with your Free Business Checking account, the first 200 deposits and checks cleared each month are free (then $0.50 per item), and you get five free ATM withdrawals per month at non-Heartland owned ATMs.
