Amex has its own business checking now - New product and offers a $300 bonus !

Applied on Nov 29th ... Approved on Dec 6th. Immediately made a LARGE deposit, though requirement is only $5k to qualify for the $300 bonus. Account shows up along with all other credit accounts!

Today, applied for Amex Lowes - immediate approval for 35K SL. Largest Amex starting initial limit for me - i think the Amex business checking played a big role in this approval.

Congrats on both approvals!

I was just reading Doctor of Credit's article about the Amex Business checking. Is this different from their Kabbage checking?

$300 back and $35K....you should buy a lottery ticket!

This is a New Amex product ... NOTHING to do with kabbage checking. personally, I thought associating with kabbage was a disservice to the Amex brand.

I put a link in my initial post. Pure Amex product with a nice looking Amex debit card and checks.

I had been eyeing this product for a month or so knowing that I'd make the switch Dec 1st when Bluvine's APR drop to 0.6% down from the previous 1.00% I had been getting. And the $300 SUB was a added bonus! The only issue was that i could get my Bluevine account linked with Amex so I could transfer the $5K immediately, had to funnel it through Discover savings which took an extra five days but i made it under the wire!

I was originally looking at the Kabbage Checking but was glad to see this actual Amex product come about and have a bit more secure feeling with it. The only downside is that I'm going to have to keep less that $10K in it to prevent snooping.

Congratz on the Lowes Approval!!

I've Been Looking Into The Biz Checking and Want to Get My Lowe's Card Up, They Gave Me a Nice SL on BBC Card a Couple Months Ago, (Verified my US Bank Acct) I'm Building a House and 3k Doesn't Get Much.. Lol Does Checking Account Show Up on the Same App? As Biz Cards? and Can Make Payments Directly from There? Thanks

Thanks for the post! I never noticed this product and I've been looking into growing my business for this year. I opened an account with Kabbage last year, and haven't done much with it, but I may end up going with this product.

Congratulations!!

I applied but could not get my identification to upload during the verification process.

Hopefully I will be able to verify my identity when AMEX reaches out to me (but more than likely I will call them in the morning to provide that information).

Hi Janus, could you elaborate on this please?

I'm topically familiar with IRS reporting requirements by banks for transactions over a threshold, but can't quite understand the alarm of 'snooping' movements of money >=$10k.

I have a small private operation (hobby) online which I've been considering to open to the public as a sole proprietorship + DBA. I'd figured it may be nice to then open one of these amex checking accounts and move >$10k into for the 1.1% APY.

Basically I'd like to understand the downside(s) apparently there are.

Thanks!
