Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Banks Who Financed Cohousing

[Dahako (Dahako]

Hi-
 
If I remember correctly, BB&T also financed Eno Commons Cohousing in  North 
Carolina.  
 
Another interesting thing about BB&T is that they have a special kind  of 
checking account for nonprofit clubs and other civic organizations that  does 
not 
charge any fees.  (To give credit where credit is due -- pun  intended -- I 
learned about this type of account from a Young Republican whose  club had such 
an account.)They use one of the club members social security  numbers as the 
EIN.  Both Eno Commons (on my husbands ID) and Eastern  Village (on mine) set 
up membership group accounts during the start-up and  development phase.  
These accounts held membership payments, donations, and  dues during the time 
before the actual condo association or homeowners  association came into being 
as 
closing were made.  We set them up so two  signatures were needed for every 
check.
