Corporate Banking Resolution

Among all the corporate resolutions made in a corporation’s formal meetings, the Corporate Banking Resolution is most commonly made at the initial incorporation to select commercial banking institutions and open bank accounts.

By extension, the Resolution also signifies the corporation as a separate entity from the principals. In effect, you or any of the members are not supposed to use personal bank accounts to conduct business. Corporations are explicitly prohibited from mixing business and private funds, including members, the board of directors, or shareholders.

What Is a Corporate Banking Resolution?

During the initial incorporation of a company, one of the first steps is taking care of all the banking procedures, for instance, which commercial, financial institution to use, and who are the people authorized to transact the funds.

All of the above can be accomplished with one or more Corporate Banking Resolutions to specify designated commercial banks for the company and authorized individuals who have access to the accounts.

Just like a Corporate Banking Resolution can be used to open a bank account, you can execute another resolution to close said bank account or remove an authorized individual.

Other Names for Corporate Banking Resolution
