BALTIMORE, MD (September 26, 2025) |
SECU (“see-Q”), Maryland’s largest state-chartered credit union, today announces the launch of its fully reimagined Business Banking program – a bold, new suite of solutions designed to meet the evolving needs of Maryland’s business owners. With cutting-edge technology, a personalized approach and best-in-market offerings, SECU is making Business Banking more seamless, intuitive and rewarding.
Simple, streamlined and member-first, SECU’s enhanced Business Banking offering provides a tailored, people-first experience paired with digital convenience. Business owners can access support in person at any of SECU’s Financial Centers or outside of traditional hours through the credit union’s Virtual and Digital Financial Centers. A team of dedicated Business Banking Relationship Managers provides specialized guidance for businesses with up to $10 million in revenue.
“At SECU, we are deeply committed to empowering Maryland businesses and business owners, supporting job creation and retention, innovation and economic growth across our diverse communities. Through our reimagined offerings and continued investments in technology, we’re delivering a simplified, seamless lending experience with faster approvals and more personalized service,” said Dave Sweiderk, President and CEO at SECU. “These enhancements not only strengthen our internal capabilities, but also directly support the growth and long-term success of Maryland’s small business economy. By supporting local businesses, we’re ultimately advancing SECU’s mission to strengthen communities through financial wellness."
At the heart of this program is SECU’s new 2.0% Business Interest Checking and Nonprofit Checking accounts — a groundbreaking offering that returns two percent cash-back to business owners. “We see this as a reinvestment in the people who are building Maryland’s economy and improving our communities,” added Sweiderk. “By offering two percent cash back through our Business Checking products, we want to empower business owners in Maryland, knowing that it's no small feat to own and operate a business, in any sector, especially while maintaining profitability and growth.”
SECU’s new Business Banking experience is further powered by strategic fintech partnerships to eliminate the friction and accelerate access to financial tools that matter most to business owners. For example, through partnerships with MANTL for account opening and Lenders Cooperative for Business loan origination and processing, SECU will supercharge its Business lending capabilities through an omnichannel experience. New accounts can be opened in less than fifteen minutes, in addition to offering one of the best interest rates for Business and non-profit checking accounts, providing quicker access to capital and more.
