The information requested by a bank to set up an account for a new corporation is generally not a matter of state law but rather the requirement of the individual bank. The best practice is to call the bank you intend to use for your new corporate account and ask them what information they will require to set up a new bank account. Then you will know ahead of time what you need to provide.
At a minimum, most banks will require:
- A copy of the articles of incorporation that you filed with the state.
- Your new employer identification number (EIN). Some banks may also request a copy of your bylaws and a resolution from the corporation’s directors authorizing the bank to be the corporation’s depository of funds. (However, most banks have their standard form for this purpose.) The link provides a sample bank resolution.
