Stripe opens its Atlas program to US-based startups
Silicon Valley bank is frankly awful. I used them for three years but just recently switched over to Capital One Spark Business Checking[1] and love it. Spark is all online, has zero fees unlike SVB (I used to pay $15/mo), and has solid technology again unlike SVB. The account gets setup instantly and your debit card and checks arrive about a week after opening. The Spark iOS mobile app is really solid and allows for check deposits. I highly recommend Spark business checking over SVB.<p>[1] - <a href="https://www.capitalone.com/small-business-bank/" rel="nofollow">https://www.capitalone.com/small-business-bank/</a><p>EDIT: Also want to mention, I have two software products and was able to create two bank accounts under the same corporate tax id with Spark, which I was unable to do at SVB. This allows me to isolate income and expenses for each product as each has their own Spark checking account number and transactions under a single unified login.
