* For each Totally Free Business Checking account opened, one of the following BestBank products must be open and active to qualify: Personal Checking, Personal or Business Money Market, Certificate of Deposit, Credit Card or Auto Loan, Mortgage Loan, Equity Loan/Line of Credit, Business Loan or Line of Credit. If the additional account is closed, your checking will be transferred to another BestBank Business Checking product where balance and transaction fees may apply. Customer purchases checks. Fees for services, such as cash/coin orders still apply, refer to fee listing. BestBank reserves the right to transfer the account to our Commercial Checking if the account has excessive transactions in relation to balances.

**A transaction is defined as: check written, transfer, deposit ticket processed, deposit item, ACH or other account debits or credits. For checks presented to the bank on the same day, the bank reserves the right to debit customer's account in any order. A monthly statement is produced at the end of each month for each account reconciliation. Must provide a copy of corporate Resolution at time of opening account. For any other terms and conditions of your account refer to our Deposit Disclosure.

***The Interest Rate on certificates for Gold Checking customers will be a variable rate. Account owner(s) who have a Gold checking account with an average monthly balance of $2400.00 or greater will receive a Preferred Certificate of Deposit Interest Rate on certificates opened on or after February 1, 2008 that is 0.25% higher than the Certificate of Deposit Interest Rate in effect on the day the certificate is opened. If the Gold checking was opened prior to the certificate opening date the Preferred Certificate of Deposit Interest Rate will be effective on the certificate opening date. If the Gold checking is opened on or after the opening date of the certificate, the Preferred Certificate of Deposit Interest Rate will be effective the next business day after the Gold Checking opening date. If the Gold Checking account is closed, the Interest Rate will revert to the Certificate of Deposit Interest Rate that was in effect on the date the certificate was opened. For any month that the Gold checking account average monthly balance, calculated at month end, falls below $2400.00 the Interest Rate will revert to the Certificate of Deposit Interest Rate that was in effect on the date the certificate was opened, for the following month.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT

To help the government fight the funding of terrorist and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account.

What this means for you: When you open an account, we will ask you for your name, address, date of birth and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver's license or other identifying documents.
