Citizens Launches Digital Account Opening for Business Banking Customers

PROVIDENCE, RI – Citizens announced today that small business customers can now open sole proprietorship deposit accounts through a new digital self-service channel.

With this easy-to-use, fully digital and automated functionality, Business Banking customers can now open an account at their convenience – anytime, anywhere – by simply visiting the Citizens website (www.citizensbank.com).

This new offering includes standalone checking, savings and money market accounts, along with the capability to open multiple products at once. Additionally, with recent enhancements to Citizens’ online banking platform, customers can immediately enroll in online banking and fund their accounts while signing up for a debit/ATM card, without being required to enter a debit card number and PIN number.

“Digital Account Opening is a great tool that can help free up time for leaders to focus on running their businesses and it serves as a great example of Citizens’ commitment to delivering innovative solutions to support our customers and propel their growth at every stage,” said Chris Powell, Head of Retail Deposits and Customer Engagement, Citizens.
