ZBA. A checking account which always maintains a balance of zero. Whenever the corporation needs to write a check, they transfer money into the account for the exact sum for which the check will be written, so that once the check is cashed there will once again be a balance of zero in the account. This helps the corporation avoid having money in too many different places.
