    You can request a debit card and paper checks with your Bank OZK Investors Choice Money Market Account, so it’s a good option if you want easy access to your company’s savings. You’ll pay a $3 monthly service fee, though, or a $10 fee if your balance falls under $1,000.

    How Bank OZK business banking works

    Bank OZK has personal and business banking products. There are around 240 branches in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Texas.

    To contact customer support, call Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. CT, or Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. CT.

    The Bank OZK mobile app has 4.6 out of 5 stars in the Apple store, and 3 out of 5 stars in the Google Play store.

    The deposits in your business accounts are FDIC insured for up to $250,000, or up to $500,000 for joint accounts.

    Is Bank OZK trustworthy?

    The Better Business Bureau gives Bank OZK a B- in trustworthiness, primarily because the bank hasn’t responded to all of the customer complaints on the BBB website.

    In 2019, a former executive filed a lawsuit against Bank OZK, claiming her colleagues engaged in sexual misconduct and discriminated based on age.

    How Bank OZK compares to similar business banking options

    We’ve compared Bank OZK to business banking options in similar parts of the US: First Citizens Bank and IberiaBank.

    Bank OZK vs. First Citizens Bank

    First Citizens Bank has branches in more states than Bank OZK, so depending on where you live, it might be the clear choice. It could also be a good fit if you frequently use ATMs, because it doesn’t charge any fees for using an out-of-network machine.

    Bank OZK allows 250 free transactions from its free checking account each month, while First Citizens Bank only allows for 175. First Citizens Bank has other

    checking accounts
    with more free transactions, but those accounts charge hefty monthly fees that are hard to waive.

    Bank OZK vs. IberiaBank

    If you make more than 250 transactions from your checking account each month, you may prefer IberiaBank. Iberia’s free checking account includes 500 free monthly transactions. Your choice between the two banks could come down to where you live, though.
