Helpful Tips

  • Use your Doing Business As (DBA) name, typically something your clients will recognise, such as your own name or your practice name.

  • Keep it short — many banks limit this to 22 characters

  • Place the most important info first (e.g. your practice name), as some banks truncate the rest.
