Business bank accounts

Immediately after incorporation or upon receiving your EIN, Stripe Atlas founders can apply to open a business bank account with our partners. Find banking options in your Atlas Dashboard or our support article. Note that our partners determine account eligibility and might not support all Atlas businesses. You can also apply to any bank of your choice.
