Just get a no-fee business checking account at a convenient bank with a debit card, once you are making or spending a lot of money you can shop around for something that suits you better. I use Fifth Third.

When I was a student, I had a big problems with Fifth Third. Really stupid stuff like "unresolvable computer errors." I had to close an account and re-open it to solve the problem.

Needless to say, I didn't keep that new account open for long.

5/3 for the fail.

We use Bank of America. They offer online payroll for $15/month. Free if you pay with direct deposit and all of your employees have BofA accounts. They will prepare and file fedaral and state tax forms and payments as well. That's a very good deal.

We use Quickbooks online (QBOE). Clunky interface. MSIE only. But it's a webapp (don't worry about backups).

We use PayPal for credit cards. They are not "unprofessional" and their API is simpler than any bank or merchant company that I know of.
