What do I need to get started with NB Business Online and NB Business Mobile?
To enroll for Needham Bank’s Business Online Banking and Business Mobile you can self-register online or enroll at any of our convenient branch locations.
Self-registration is available for businesses with an existing Needham Bank deposit account. Self-registration must be completed by an authorized signer and the business must report under a Federal Tax ID (not a social security number). Customers looking to enroll in Business Online Banking for either an IOLTA account or business account reported under a social security number should contact a personal banker or local branch.
Does Needham Bank have a mobile app for business online banking?
Yes, the NB Business App is available in the Apple and Google Play app stores. The app allows users to transfer funds, pay bills, deposit checks and more from their tablet or mobile device.
To log in to NB Business, please download the NB Business App and use your Business Online Banking Credentials. Our app is compatible with most biometric security features found on mobile devices.
Can I deposit checks without visiting the branch?
The NB Business App allows users to deposit checks via their mobile devices. Commercial customers have a limit of $50,000 per day with a monthly limit of $100,000
Once you log into your Business Online Banking profile, select the “Pay My Bills” tab. Then select “Sign up for Bill Pay,” where you will then be brought to your Bill Pay module.
How do I add other accounts to my Business Online banking?
The Business Online Banking Administrator can request other business deposit and loan accounts to be added to the Business Online Profile if they are a signer on all accounts. You can do this by logging into your Business Online profile and navigating to the Message center to send a secure message requesting the account be linked. Please provide the account title and the last four digits of the account number and we will respond to you shortly once the account has been added to your business online profile.
How do I connect my QuickBooks or Quicken to Needham Bank with Business Online Banking?
Business Online Banking offers Direct Connect and Web Connect options for both Quicken and QuickBooks. You can self-enroll for Direct Connect or download account history via Web Connect by visiting the Service Center when logged into Business Online Banking.
How do I retrieve a copy of a check through Business Online Banking?
NB Business Online Banking offers up to 16 months of certain check copies to view within your Account Activity screen. If you require a check copy that is not available to you, please contact your local branch to request a copy of the check.
Can I add additional users to my Business Online Banking?
The Business Online Banking Administrator has the ability to create additional secondary users or sub-users through the Service Center in Business Online Banking. The Administrator can then control which entitlements the sub-user has access to and what the sub-user can do in their separate business online user profile.
How do I sign up for eStatements?
You can sign up for eStatements by visiting the Accounts module in Business Online Banking and then selecting “eStatements”. Once accessing eStatements, your paper statements will automatically be discontinued.
