QUESTION 1: WHAT OPERATIONS CAN WE PERFORM WITH OUR BANK ACCOUNT?

It is the record of our commercial activity and the way to facilitate our financial procedures
With a bank account we can perform operations such as: deposit, withdraw, transfer and store our capital in a legal and simple way

A checking account is necessary to manage the finances of our business in a simple way without the need to use cash
With it we can manage collections and payments between companies or customers
A business checking account gives us the advantage of being able to separate our personal and business income
It provides us with the facility to generate a history of operations that can help us when filing our taxes

One of the first recommendations when choosing a bank where to open a current account is that its location should be as close as possible to the business or home, so that when visiting the bank, the distance between the bank and the business or home is as short as possible
It is necessary for this choice that the bank has a department or person who knows how to proceed with your type of business to avoid mistakes and save time
The fundamental aspect when choosing a bank is the rate of commissions it applies to its customers
It is good to know that not all banks offer the same commission rates but there are some that allow you to negotiate this detail before you officially sign up

The most important document to open a bank account is our ID card
In some cases you may be required to have some kind of proof of address or proof of our business
The bank may ask us for documents of legality of our company such as vat tax returns or some proof of legal insurance on our business
The normal part of the process is to fill out a form with some questions about your company or the account owner's current marital status

The bank issues a credit card with the identity number of our account and a secret code that can be changed only by us
With this credit card we can shop in many physical places such as supermarkets or shopping malls, we can also request our cash if necessary
It is important that this card is kept away from our cell phone to avoid demagnetization
The identity number of our credit card is affiliated to our online banking from where we can also operate digitally
