What do I need to open a Louisiana LLC bank account?
Articles of Organization, EIN (federal tax ID), operating agreement, and owner ID. Most banks also require your LLC to be in good standing.
Can I use a personal account for my Louisiana LLC?
Never. Commingling funds is one of the fastest ways to lose your LLC’s liability protection. A dedicated business account is non-negotiable.
What’s the best bank for a Louisiana LLC?
For traditional banking: Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo. For online business banking with no fees: Mercury, Relay, or Bluevine are strong choices.
