Personal & Business Accounts with Holdings

Managing your finances shouldn’t feel like a circus act-especially when you’re wearing both the business owner and personal money manager hats. If you’ve ever found yourself toggling between different bank accounts, chasing down receipts, or dreading the monthly accounting grind, you’re not alone. That’s exactly why Holdings was created: to give business owners and everyday people a smarter, simpler way to handle all their money, all in one place.

Why Managing Multiple Accounts Gets Messy

Let’s face it: traditional banks haven’t made it easy to keep your business and personal finances organized. Maybe you started your business as a side hustle, using your personal bank account to accept payments and cover expenses. Or perhaps you’re a seasoned entrepreneur juggling multiple companies, each with its own business checking account, credit card, and set of passwords. The result? A tangled web of logins, statements, and tax headaches.

Mixing business and personal funds can lead to all sorts of problems:

  • Confusing cash flow that makes budgeting a nightmare

  • Tax headaches when you need to separate business expenses from personal ones

  • Risking your limited liability protection if you’re an LLC or corporation

  • Wasted time logging in and out of different banking apps

  • Missed opportunities to earn more on your money due to low interest rates and hidden fees

Holdings is here to change all that, giving you a single, unified platform to manage every dollar-whether it’s for your business, your personal life, or both.

All Your Money, One Dashboard

Imagine logging in to a single dashboard and seeing your business and personal bank accounts, savings accounts, and even investment accounts-all side by side. With Holdings, you don’t have to imagine. Our unified dashboard gives you a real-time view of your balances, recent transactions, and account details for every account you own. No more switching browsers, hunting for passwords, or wondering where your money went.

This isn’t just about convenience-it’s about control. When you can see your cash flow across all accounts at a glance, you’re empowered to make smarter decisions. Need to pay a vendor from your business account, transfer money to your personal savings, or check if a client payment cleared? It’s all right there, in one place.

The Power of a Unified Dashboard

  • Instantly view all balances and recent transactions

  • Track business revenue, expenses, and personal spending side by side

  • Get real-time updates-no waiting for statements to post

  • Easily categorize transactions for bookkeeping and tax prep

  • Set up alerts for large transactions, low balances, or unusual activity

For business owners, this means no more surprises at tax time. For everyone, it means less time managing money and more time enjoying life.

Managing Multiple Businesses? No Problem

Many entrepreneurs don’t stop at one business. Maybe you run a consulting firm and a side e-commerce store. Or perhaps you’re a freelancer with multiple clients, each needing separate invoicing and payment tracking. Holdings lets you use the same email address to manage multiple business accounts, so you can switch between companies without ever logging out.

This feature is a game-changer for anyone with more than one business entity. You’ll save time, reduce the risk of password fatigue, and keep your financial data organized-no more mixing up which account pays which bill.

How Holdings Makes Multi-Business Management Easy

  • Use a single email and login for all your Holdings accounts

  • Switch between business entities with a click-no logging out

  • Keep business transactions, expenses, and cash flow separate for each company

  • Simplify bookkeeping and accounting across multiple businesses

  • Reduce the risk of errors that come from juggling multiple banks or software platforms

Seamless Transfers and Smarter Cash Flow

One of the biggest headaches for business owners is moving money between accounts. Maybe you need to pay yourself from your business account, cover a personal expense, or send funds to a contractor. With traditional banks, this can mean waiting days for transfers to clear, paying wire transfer or ACH fees, or dealing with clunky interfaces.

Holdings changes the game with instant, fee-free transfers between your own accounts-or to any other Holdings user. That means you can pay yourself, cover a bill, or send money to a team member in seconds, not days.

Key Cash Flow Features

  • Instantly transfer money between business and personal accounts

  • Send payments to other Holdings users for free

  • Schedule recurring transfers for payroll, savings, or regular expenses

  • No fees for internal transfers-keep more of your money working for you

  • Real-time updates so you always know your available balance

Efficient cash flow management is critical for every business, whether you’re a sole proprietorship or a growing corporation. Holdings helps you stay on top of it, so you never miss a beat.

Switching Banks? Here’s What You Need to Know

Thinking about moving your business banking to Holdings to take advantage of zero fees and high APY? Smart move! But you might wonder: will switching banks hurt my business credit?

The good news: switching banks does not negatively impact your business credit as long as you keep your payment information updated and your accounts in sync. Holdings’ integrated tools make this transition smooth and stress-free. Just update your payment details with vendors, payroll providers, and any linked services, and you’re good to go.

Why Switching to Holdings is Low-Risk and High-Reward

  • No impact on business credit if you update payment info promptly

Personal Accounts Built for Entrepreneurs

Holdings personal accounts aren’t just for everyday spending-they’re designed with business owners in mind.
