If your business has more than one owner or key executive with authority and control, it is preferred that they are all present when opening a new account. If this is not possible, then you may be provided with the required forms that must be completed and notarized by each individual not present. Your account cannot be opened until all notarized forms have been returned by the owner or key executive, who is opening the account at the branch.
