Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about Heard Banking.

Open an account
Is Heard Banking a real bank account?

Yes. Heard Banking accounts are provided by i3 Bank, Member FDIC, with banking technology powered by Unit. Deposits are insurance eligible up to $3M per depositor through our partner bank network. Heard is not a bank — we're the financial platform that sits around the account and does the work banks don't.

Can I use Heard Banking alongside a bank I already have?

Yes. Keep your current bank if you want. Open Heard Banking as the account for your practice, then connect your existing bank during setup so you can move money over when you're ready.

What happens if my application isn't approved?

Approval is decided by i3 Bank. If your application isn't approved, you can still use Heard for bookkeeping and taxes. Our team will walk you through what happened and what options you have.

How do I move my current banking to Heard?

Open your Heard Banking account, transfer your funds, then update payroll, insurance, and client-pay destinations to the new account. Most practices finish the move in a few days.

What if I already use Heard for bookkeeping?

Use the same Heard login. Once the account is open, transactions flow in and categorize automatically against the books you already have in Heard.

Are there any fees or minimums I should know about?

No monthly fee, no minimum balance, and no overdraft fees. Limited foreign-transaction fees may apply depending on how you use the card.

How does earning APY work?

Heard Banking pays a tiered 1.00% to 2.50% APY. The rate is variable, and interest is compounded and credited monthly.

Can I apply for Heard Banking if I have a W-2 in addition to my 1099?

Yes. Heard Banking is a business account for your practice. You can apply even if you also have W-2 income alongside 1099 work.

Can I use Heard Banking if I'm an S corp?

Yes. Keep owner draws, payroll, and tax reserves in separate accounts so the books stay clean as an S corp.

Heard is the only financial management software built for therapists and wellness practitioners that enables you to manage your bookkeeping, taxes, and payroll-all in one place.
