So basically, do NOT take your NOW account agreement and use it for the business interest checking. The big change? Eliminate the right to reserve 7 days advance notice for withdrawals.
Both NOW and Business interest checking are NOT eligible for the unlimited deposit insurance.
It is my understand that the
reserves for NOW Accounts are the same as for demand deposit - just that NOWs were a loophole around Reg. Q but only for certain "preferred" groups of depositors - i.e. those less likely to cause wild swings in balances.
So the differences between your typical NOW Account Agreement and Business Interest Checking? Let's see:
BICs will NOT have a reservation for a 7 day advance notice for withdrawals.
(I'm not crying big tears over that....)BICs will need to have a Reg. GG disclosure.
BICs should have a more robust account agreement similar to your non-interest bearing checking business account agreements - check with legal counsel.
IMHO - It's probably a product that you want to develop and keep handy the next time one of your business Money Market account holders violates the 6 transfer rule for the third time.
Having said all of that - I can just imagine the audit and/or exam "big findings" where some poor fool left in the 7 day advance notice requirement for a Business Interest Checking Account. OhEmGoat - Reg D. VIO!
And over here is another angel dancing on top of a pin.
