Imagine running your business with easy access to the information you need exactly when you need it. It’s not just data, either, but the information reporting capabilities that make the difference. Now you can make critical decisions with full confidence that you have solid data to back them up.
Through a single point of contact and a secure technology system, your First Business Bank adviser works with you to provide access allowing you to manage multiple accounts. Our online business banking services automate bank account reconciliation and transaction reporting, and First Business Bank Direct Connect allows you ease of making transfers and reporting within QuickBooks® Desktop.

If an item your business deposited is returned, Online Business Banking users will receive an email notice the next day to log into Online Business Banking to view details of the return. Details about first-time returns, re-deposit items, and chargeback items are available.
The Returned Checks area in Online Business Banking includes:
• Return date & deposit date
• Amount
• Return reason
• Check image
You can request special instructions for deposited check returns, such as posting the item to an alternate account or sending advice to an alternate address. Your business can also receive an email notifying you of the return the same day instead of the next day. Please speak with your First Business Bank Relationship Manager about setting this up.
First Business Bank Direct Connect allows you to download your account activity, transfer funds between First Business Bank deposit accounts, and make bill payments all directly in QuickBooks® Desktop.

• Automatically reconcile data – Direct Connect data includes complete transaction and balance information to make categorization and account reconciliation easy.
