Ask HN: What bank is available for Atlas companies that is not SVB?

We are based in the EU and are looking for a bank that will open an account for us.

SVB is not a good fit because of the fees and the experiences people have with them.

Brex declined us (Probably because we're bootstrapped and don't have enough money in the account).

Anyone has good experiences with another bank?

    I started a company using Atlas in 2019 and have been using SVB since then. They're not great, but they're not terrible either. The monthly fee is annoying, but I treat it as insurance of sorts (so that I won't depend on the whims of one single bank).

    I use Mercury as my secondary bank account and can recommend them.

    Just RTM, they explicitly mention Mercury as another option: https://stripe.com/docs/atlas/next
