Open a U.S. business banking account
from Israel.

Bluevine isn't a bank—it's a financial-technology company whose banking services are provided by Coastal Community Bank, Member FDIC.

Being a fintech company allows us to charge fewer and lower fees, and make our financial services more accessible to owners of new, small, or geographically remote businesses. Bluevine Business Checking accounts are also FDIC-insured up to $3,000,000 per depositor—12 times the standard amount of $250,000—through Coastal Community Bank, Member FDIC and their sweeps program banks.

All types of businesses, from tech startups to professional services providers operating in the U.S. could benefit from a Bluevine Business Checking account. Businesses in all industries, barring restricted entities, solo proprietorships, and nonprofits, are encouraged to apply.
