You just found out that your partner took you off of the business bank account! Can he do that? It depends…
Your Business Partner Can Remove You From the Business Bank Account
That doesn’t seem right. If two people are equal partners on a business account how can you be removed? Why would the bank do that on his word without talking with you? Because there are two ways for you to be on that account. If it is a joint account, he can’t remove you without a court order of some kind. If you are an authorized user on the account, and your partner is the account holder representing the business, you can be removed.
If you are not a joint account holder, you need to change that or open a new bank account for your partnership.

Get a Joint Account
If you are in a business partnership, call your bank and find out if you have a joint account. If you are “on” the account but it’s not a joint account, change it. I can’t stress how important this is.
If you are a “signer” on the account, that means you are an authorized user. You can add, or take money. Your partner, however, has the ability to remove you from the account. Things may be great with your partnership today, but that could be very different tomorrow.

Plan for the Day a Partner Wants to Leave the Business
If you have read my other posts, you know I strongly encourage people who form Partnerships to create a Partnership Agreement.
