If your association does not have a bank account, it will not be able to receive donations, grants or other forms of financial support. The association also cannot collect membership fees. If you are looking to subsidize your project, a bank account will be necessary.Open an online bank account for your associationIf you want to open an account for association, you have the possibility to do it online directly through a 100 igit bank specialized for business accounts. By opting for an online offer, you will be able to make big reductions each month and moreover, you will be able to find offers more adapted to your situation than in a classic banking establishment since the offers are multiple and are adapted to each association, to its size or to its number of employees for example.Services offered at the level of a classic bankAn online offer does not mean under offer.

If more than one person is designated, it should be specified whether he or she must act jointly, i.e., all decisions concerning the association's banking operations require several mandatory signatures. Or also the designated person must act separately, at least one signature is required. All this information must be included in the Law of Deliberation to be informed to the Bank.
