How do I open an Old Glory Trust Checking account?

Our Old Glory Trust Checking account is a useful tool for trustees to manage funds. 

 

An Old Glory Bank Trust Checking account is a useful tool for trustees to quickly and efficiently carry out transactions related to a trust without co-mingling external funds.  

  • There is a $75.00 set-up fee for Trust Checking accounts. 
  • Old Glory Trust Checking is ONLY a checking account. We can't rename or convert existing consumer checking or savings accounts to be titled in the name of the trust. Our trust checking accounts are business accounts, not consumer accounts. 

 

A Trust Checking account is: 

  • An account held within a trust that is used by a trustee to facilitate transactions as mandated by a trust agreement.  
  • Is FDIC insured. 
  • May be combined with assets from multiple sources, including cash savings and insurance policies, and other places.  
  • Is titled in the name of the trust and has the same tax ID number. 
  • Used to pay expenses like debts, utility bills, insurance, and funeral expenses. 
  • Used to distribute assets to beneficiaries. 

 

 

Old Glory Bank Trust accounts are opened by our Old Glory Bank Business Banking team.
