Ask IH: Simple, online US checking account for LLCs?

BofA is good. Wells Fargo is also good, as long as you ignore all the fraud they have done in recent past. ;-)

I've been reasonably happy with Capital One's Spark product.

I probably just know nothing since I am not in the US. But you don't need a check account to accept checks do you?

On a side note. My company accepts checks from the US and though its easy to for people to send money internationally that way, its a total pain at the receiving end. If you follow the 80/20 rule you would just say, only credit card and bank transfer thanks. But I don't do that. Just putting it out there.

I believe the Chase business checking is $1,500 minimum balance, or $15/month fee. There used to be $200 cash for new accounts which eliminated the first year of fees.

I recommend Square1 to clients. They're great. If you were a C-Corp with intent to raise I'd recommend SVB. Aspiration is great too.

Sorry I don't have an answer Abi, but I'm curious - are you currently operating as a sole proprietor? A single member LLC? Any lessons learned going from zero to legit business income from a tax/entity/liability perspective?

Also, thanks for hosting that first IH meetup in Chicago! Made invaluable and ongoing connections at that event
