That institutional business is a separate service from a small business deposit account, so a typical company in South Korea falls outside it. As of 5 February 2026.

Eligibility for businesses in South Korea

Because Bank of America Business onboards only United States registered businesses with United States based ownership, a company registered in South Korea does not qualify for the small business product. A large institutional client may hold a corporate and investment banking relationship with Bank of America in South Korea, but that is arranged directly through its institutional teams in Seoul and is not the same as opening a business checking account.
