Keep your accounts at interest-bearing levels with sweep accounts. Keep your accounts protected from over-drafting, so your business finances are kept in check.

Overdraft Protection For Your Business

Protect and optimize your business accounts

A sweep account for businesses is usually an interest-bearing account linked to your primary business checking account. You set a minimum balance for your checking account and excess funds above that minimum are automatically transferred into your sweep account to earn interest. If your checking account balance falls below the minimum, funds get transferred out of your sweep account to prevent an overdraft.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What Is a Zero Balance Account (ZBA)?

A zero balance account (ZBA) is pretty much exactly what it sounds like: a checking account in which a balance of zero is maintained. When funds are needed in the ZBA, the exact amount of money required is automatically transferred from a central or master account. Similarly, deposits are swept into the master account daily.

What is the purpose of a ZBA?

A ZBA is designed to allow you to conveniently maintain a master account while funds are dispersed to your subsidiary ZBA accounts for essential business items, such as payroll, petty cash, or other purposes

What is sweeping in banking?

Sweeping is an automated funds transfer for the concentration of balances belonging to a company or a group of companies, which regularly move funds between their own accounts. Sweeps can be executed between accounts within Nordea, cross-border and to accounts at other banks

Can I withdraw money from a sweep account?

Yes, you can withdraw money from your sweep account like you normally would with a checking or savings account.

Don't forget to save, too!
