How the cost works
Business accounts carry monthly and transaction fees that vary by the account type and pricing bundle you choose. Fee structures change, so compare the current business account options and their monthly costs before opening one.
Our take
A major bank like Absa offers scale, stability and a full product range, which suits a business that values branch access and room to grow. Weigh the monthly fees against newer low-fee digital banks based on how you actually transact. Keeping clean records in the account also helps when you apply for funding.
