Running a flourishing business means overseeing a constant flow of money. Luckily, though, there are products that can help you cover, manage and track your business expenses effectively and smoothly. Let’s take a look at some of them.

Business checking accounts

A designated business checking account can help a business manage and track expenses, taxes and revenue. Separate accounts also protect the business owner from losing personal assets if action is taken against the company. Business owners can use their checking accounts to deposit checks made out to their company and to cover business expenses, such as payroll or paying suppliers. Learn more about Listerhill's business checking account options.

Business savings account

A business savings account is an account designated for funds to be used in case of emergency or for future business expenses. The money in this account will grow at a greater dividend rate, but access to funds is more limited. Listerhill's Business Share Savings account accrues competitive interest and only requires $5 to open. Learn more about Listerhill's Business Share Savings account.

Business credit card

A business credit card provides small business owners with easy and unsecured access to a revolving line of credit. The business owner can use the credit to withdraw cash as necessary, cover large expenses, make purchases, fund expansion or meet monthly bill payments.

A business credit card is easier to qualify for in comparison to a business loan, but will nearly always have a higher interest rate. However, if the business owner is careful only to use the credit card when it is absolutely necessary and pays the bill before it’s due, interest will not accrue. With Listerhill's business credit card, you can get awesome perks like a low fixed rate, multiple user access, merchandise rewards and a flexible credit limit. Learn more about what you need to open a business credit card with Listerhill.

Tax software

Tracking business expenses and marking which can be deducted from a company’s tax liability can be super-challenging. Tax software designed for businesses makes this task easy. Business tax software, like H&R Block, Quickbooks, TaxAct and TaxSlayer, can track all the expenses of a business and help owners file taxes efficiently and easily.

Money management apps

Managing expenses for a small business isn’t easy. Fortunately, there’s an app for that! Money management apps like Mint, Truebill and ZohoBooks, allow businesses to track and review all their expenses in one convenient location. Chart expenses on colored graphs, categorize them for easier tax filing and link accounts for automatic syncing of expenditures and income.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What happens when federally insured credit unions merge?

    If a member has accounts in credit union A and credit union B, and credit union A merges into credit union B, accounts of credit union A continue to be insured separately from the share deposits of credit union B for six months after the date of the merger or, in the case of a share certificate, the earliest maturity date after the six-month period. In the case of a share certificate that matures within the six-month grace period that is renewed at the same dollar amount, either with or without accrued dividends having been added to the principal amount, and for the same term as the original share certificate, the separate insurance applies to the renewed share certificate until the first maturity date after the six-month period. A share certificate that matures within the six-month grace period that is renewed on any other basis, or that is not renewed, is separately insured only until the end of the six-month grace period.

  • What happens if a federally insured credit union is liquidated?

    The NCUA would either transfer the insured member's account to another federally insured credit union or give the federally insured member a check equal to their insured account balance. This includes the principal and posted dividends through the date of the credit union's liquidation, up to the insurance limit.

  • If a credit union is liquidated, what is the timeframe for payout of the funds that are insured if the credit union cannot be acquired by another credit union?

    Federal law requires the NCUA to make payments of insured accounts "as soon as possible" upon the failure of a federally insured credit union. While every credit union failure is unique, there are standard policies and procedures that the NCUA follows in making share insurance payments. Historically, insured funds are available to members within just a few days after the closure of an insured credit union.

  • What happens to members with uninsured shares?

    Members who have uninsured shares may recover a portion of their uninsured shares, but there is no guarantee that they will recover any more than the insured amount. The amount of uninsured shares they may receive, if any, is based on the recovery of the failed credit union's assets. Depending on the quality and value of these assets, it may take several years to conclude recovery on all the assets. As recoveries are made, uninsured account holders may receive periodic payments on their uninsured shares claim.

  • What happens to my direct deposits if a federally insured credit union is liquidated?

    If a liquidated credit union is acquired by another federally insured credit union, all direct deposits, including Social Security checks or paychecks delivered electronically, will be automatically deposited into your account at the assuming credit union. If the NCUA cannot find an acquirer for the liquidated credit union, the NCUA will advise members to make new arrangements.
