Money market accounts usually offer check-writing and debit card privileges and are covered up to the allowable limits by the FDIC.

debit card is a bank-issued card that deducts money directly from a checking account and can be used at ATMs, online or at a point-of-sale. Debit cards typically offer fraud protection benefits and can be added to a mobile device’s digital wallet for additional security protection and convenience.

Debit card users can typically make fee-free withdrawals, transfers and deposits at a bank branch and ATM or through an ATM partner, such as the Allpoint® ATM network.

Items needed to apply for a consumer loan will vary by lender, but in general, you can expect to provide details on:

  • Income - For example, tax returns and bank statements
  • Credit score - The minimum credit score to qualify for a loan will vary by lender and loan type
  • Debt-to-income ratio - This percentage represents your gross monthly income that goes toward debt payments. Lenders will use this to determine your capacity for more debt
  • Collateral - For secured loans, you may need to pledge assets, such as a home, car or investment accounts to secure a loan

Connect with your local Seacoast Banker for expert guidance on applying for a consumer loan.

A mortgage is an agreement between you (a borrower) and a bank or lender to buy or refinance a home without having all the cash up front. When you obtain a mortgage, you agree to:

  • Make payments over a set amount of time
  • Pay back the money borrowed, plus interest
  • Upkeep mortgage terms with the home as collateral for the loan

Many lenders typically recommend that your housing costs make up no more than 30% of your annual pre-tax income. To estimate how much home you can afford consider the following details:

  • The amount of money you can put towards a down payment
  • Your household income
  • Any debt you have and monthly repayments, as well as your spending habits

Seacoast’s Mortgage Loan Calculator can help you estimate what your monthly mortgage payment would be.

Though often used interchangeably, a distinct difference exists between being pre-qualified and pre-approved for a mortgage. Being pre-qualified is more high level and based on information from the buyer. On the other hand, pre-approval is more involved, as a mortgage application is needed. At this stage, the lender has reviewed the buyers’ financial details and provided an idea of how much they can borrow.

Connect with your nearest Seacoast Mortgage Loan Officer for expert guidance on the homebuying process.

The steps to open a business deposit account may vary depending on the bank or credit union, but in general, you can expect to provide:

  • Personal identification
  • Business formation documents, such as articles of organizations or incorporation

  • Bank account and routing number for your initial deposit

Seacoast Bank makes opening a business checking or savings account simple. Find your local branch to make an appointment.

In general, any business with an Employee Identification Number (EIN) or Social Security number for sole proprietors, can open a small business bank account. Keep in mind, you may need to submit documentation for your business as well.

Review our Business Insights blog for more information on opening a business banking account.

The amount needed to open a business checking or savings account, as well as any associated maintenance fees and minimum balance requirements, will vary by the account type chosen and the financial institution.

It depends. At a minimum, business owners should consider a business checking and business savings account. From there, the decision depends on your unique needs. For example, you may need an additional business savings account for tax purposes or enjoy the liquidity and earning potential of a business money market account.

To obtain a business loan from Seacoast Bank, the business must be based in Florida and be in operation for a minimum of three years.

Gathering your business and personal information is just one step in the small business loan process, but in general, you may be asked to provide details such as:

  • Tax returns for the business and each guarantor
  • List of your current monthly debt payments
  • Personal financial statement
  • Driver license information for each owner
  • Identifying information for each owner

The approval time for a small business loan can take anywhere from a few days to a few months, and depends on numerous factors, including, the type of loan applied for, your lender and if you have all the required documentation ready.

A small business is defined as an independent business having fewer than 500 employees.

The U.S. Small Business Administration is a federal agency focused on helping small business owners start, grow or expand their small businesses by partnering with lenders like Seacoast Bank to provide government-backed business loans. Since the loans are partially guaranteed by the SBA, the program enables small business owners to obtain business loans with fewer equity requirements than conventional business loans.

The Small Business Administration (SBA) is a federal agency that helps established businesses grow and helps new businesses get started. As a borrower, you’re not borrowing from the SBA, you’re borrowing from a financial institution like Seacoast Bank that partners with the SBA to provide loans to small businesses.

SBA loans offer several advantages compared to conventional business loans including lower down payments, longer terms, full amortization and no balloon payments. SBA loans can also provide financing for businesses that often find it difficult to obtain conventional financing like restaurants, auto repair facilities, self-storage facilities, start-up franchises and assisted living facilities.

The first step in applying for an SBA loan is to get an idea of which SBA loan might be right for you. Once you have determined which SBA loan is right for your business, meet with an SBA-preferred lender to discuss eligibility requirements. You’ll then apply and close on your SBA loan with your preferred lender. Some of the most common SBA loans are the:

SBA 7(A) loan, a term loan which can be used for a variety of business needs

SBA 504 loan, which is more restrictive and typically used for construction and purchase of owner-occupied commercial real estate and heavy machinery

USDA B&I loan, which can be used for a variety of business needs and is designed to assist businesses in rural communities

Seacoast Bank has been supporting small business growth in Florida since 1926. As an SBA preferred lender, our SBA team will meet with you to discuss your unique needs and work with you during the entire process.

There are numerous uses for an SBA loan such as purchasing or refinancing commercial real estate, equipment financing, debt refinancing, building improvements, business acquisitions, partner buyouts, construction, inventory purchases, working capital and more.

With a conventional business loan, the bank assumes all of the risk and the loan is subject to the bank lending requirements. With an SBA loan, the bank shares the risk with the SBA, which guarantees a portion of the loan. SBA loans are subject to the lending requirements of both the SBA and the bank.

No. An SBA loan must be approved by the issuing bank, and each bank has its own lending criteria. When you work with an SBA Preferred Lender, you are more likely to receive better terms and a faster application and closing process than a bank that is not an SBA Preferred Lender.

Yes. As an SBA Preferred Lender, Seacoast Bank is part of the SBA's effort to streamline the procedures necessary to provide financial assistance to the small business community. This means we meet all of the Preferred Lender Program eligibility criteria, including proficiency in processing and servicing SBA-guaranteed loans.

Before opening an account, assess your business needs, such as your expected average account balance and the number of transactions you’ll process each month then align those needs with an account. On a basic level, look for accounts offering:

  • Features that make your operations easier, such as mobile banking access, Remote Deposit Capture and online banking with variable user settings
  • Ease of integration with your payroll and bookkeeping services
  • Reasonable service fees
  • Branch and ATM access
  • Generous transaction limits and earnings credit rates

Any business is eligible for a commercial checking or savings account with the required documentation. Required materials may include:

  • Employer Identification Number (EIN) or Social Security number if you’re a sole proprietorship
  • Personal identification documents
  • Business formation documents
  • Ownership agreements
  • Business license
  • DBA (Doing Business As) documentation

Yes. From case studies and blogs to downloadable guides and customer success stories, our Business Insights section has free resources designed to help your company reach success.

Look for a combination of local commercial banker expertise and personalized lending solutions. Seasoned commercial bankers will have expert knowledge of the local market that will help guide you in determining the best loan options and loan type for your business, such as Equipment Loan, Commercial Real Estate Loan or Commercial Line of Credit.

Most commercial loans can be applied for online or at a bank branch and typically require the following documentation:

  • Three years of tax returns for your business and each guarantor
  • Personal financial statements
  • Driver’s license information for each owner
  • Identifying information for each owner
