Good online bank for LLC?

Hi! I just registered an LLC and I need to open a business bank account. Anyone have recommendations? I was looking at ones like bluevine or Found. I like that they are low cost and also do invoicing and even help with categorizing things like taxes and write-offs. But I see so many mixed reviews compared to brick and mortar banks. Anyone got advice? Thanks!!!!

  • [comment u/S-CorpOnline] USBank, I think it's called 'Business Essentials'.   No monthly minimums, or fees.  $100 to open... or a good  Credit Union.

  • “I use BlueVine, their mobile app and website is really good. Easy to onboard and love the stripe integration. I also use Wellsfargo and they charge $15 a month if you don’t keep a minimum of $5k daily limit which can be challenging as a startup.”

  • “If you are looking for fintech, I would probably suggest Mercury. If you are looking for a real bank, i would suggest looking at credit unions, suggest using local credit unions if possible, which would give you more of a friendlier experience for your business.”
