Each region is encouraged to maintain its open checking account through which income and expenses will occur.  The checking account should be independent of and outside any individual school activity accounts.  The checking account must be maintained under the direction of the region adviser.  Region advisers may request the use of the Pennsylvania FBLA EIN number when establishing the account with a bank or credit union.  Once requested, the PA FBLA Executive Director will provide all assistance and documentation necessary to support the region’s efforts to establish a checking account.
