To manage its finances, a business requires a system. The net income, money owed to the company, money owed to creditors, and payroll paid to employees can all be tracked using the DBP business account. Different businesses will require other numbers of accounts. However, the DBP business account is a good account for any firm.

For business owners, the DBP business current account is a smart option. Payroll deductions, bill payments, and sales deposits are all available in this account. A business will often establish its first connection with DBP through it. Maintaining this account properly might create a valuable relationship if the company needs money for expansion or business loans.

Types of DBP business bank accounts

The DBP business account can be an interest-earning or non-interest earning account.

Non-interest earning business account

Non-interest-bearing DBP business accounts are typically low-maintenance checking accounts. Small business owners should choose it because the interest that the interest-earning account earns is taxable. The minimum initial deposit for this account is ₱10,000.00, while the minimum daily balance requirement is also ₱10,000.00.

Interest-earning business account

A DBP bank interest current account is a checking account that earns interest on the funds it holds. These accounts' interest benefits allow owners to automatically increase their deposits so long as the conditions for earning interest are met. Typically, the interest is presented as an annualized rate called the "annual percentage yield" (APY). It is based on a percentage of your balance and is disbursed regularly. The minimum initial deposit for this account is ₱25,000.00, while the minimum daily balance requirement is also ₱25,000.00. The ADB to earn interest is ₱25,000.00, and interest rates are subject to a withholding tax of 20%.
