The OneWest Bank business app empowers small businesses to pay bills, digitally deposit checks, transfer funds between OneWest accounts, schedule appointments and locate the nearest branch. In addition, customers using the app can apply for funding to support their equipment financing and working capital needs directly from their mobile devices.

“Small business owners are often on-the-go and are increasingly reliant on digital banking tools to keep up with their busy schedules,” said Heather Ellison, head of Retail Banking for OneWest Bank. “Our new app is an accessible and convenient solution for local entrepreneurs looking to manage their money digitally, from anywhere at any time.”

“With this seamless banking experience, we’re reinforcing our commitment to helping businesses thrive across the communities where we live and work,” continued Ellison.

OneWest offers a competitive range of products and account features designed to empower local small businesses. These include OneBusiness Interest Checking and Money Market Savings accounts. OneWest is also enabling customers to apply for equipment financing through its parent company CIT and its national Small Business Solutions division.

In addition to its products and services, OneWest empowers local entrepreneurs through Launch + Grow, an ongoing partnership with the nonprofit Operation HOPE that includes a series of in-person workshops and classes for female small business owners.
