It's possible that the bank does not have current documentation of the business's status as a corporation. It may have been a sole proprietorship in the beginning. If it is indeed a corporation, the bank needs current documentation of that status, along with a certification by the clerk or secretary of the corporation concerning the most recent board of directors vote concerning who has authority to open and/or manage the company's bank accounts. If the bank is getting erroneous information from your husband, you need to discuss the matter with him.
