U.S. commercial banks require corporations (and Limited Liability
Companies) to provide a specific list of documents in order to open
a Business Bank Account for each newly created entity.
Also, under Federal law, it is mandatory that checks (and other
payments) made payable to a company be deposited in a Business Bank
Account bearing the same name as the company.
