Let’s step back and focus on the idea that no matter how complicated the compliance and security regime, it should be able to be distilled down to a checklist.

When you apply for a business checking account, most banks will run a ChexSystems report to see your history with previous checking and savings accounts — similar to a lender running a credit check when you apply for a business loan.
