FAQs for restaurant and hospitality
businesses.
Bluevine can be a great banking platform for restaurants and hospitality businesses of all sizes. In fact, Bluevine Business Checking offers multiple plans, each with the opportunity to earn high-yield interest and save on payment fees, along with the support and security you need to bank with confidence.
Eligible U.S.-based businesses are welcome to apply online for a business checking account or business line of credit. Minimum qualifications apply, as well as additional restrictions related to industry and operating location.
Use your Bluevine Business Debit Mastercard® at a participating Allpoint+ ATM and follow the ATM instructions to make your cash deposit.
You can also head to participating Green Dot retail locations and ask a cashier to add money to your Bluevine Business Debit Mastercard. Your transaction should appear in the Checking tab of your Bluevine dashboard.
A business line of credit gives you access to funding when you want it. Unlike traditional one-time loans, a Bluevine Line of Credit is “revolving credit,” meaning your available credit replenishes as you make repayments, so you can draw additional funds without having to fully re-apply.BVSUP-00005
Once approved for a credit line, you can request funds directly from your Bluevine dashboard. We’ll deposit funds in your account as soon as a few hours, pending review and approval. Depending on which repayment plan you qualified for, we’ll automatically debit your account for weekly or monthly repayments. As you pay off your balance, the amount of available credit automatically replenishes.
With funds in as fast as 24 hours, a Bluevine Line of Credit lets you take advantage of growth opportunities early.
You could use a line of credit to cover payroll, hire full-time or seasonal employees as you need them, stock up on extra inventory in uncertain economic times, cover expenses during a slow season, or replace old equipment. You could also renovate your premises, or lease a larger one. Check out our resources for restaurant businesses above to get more ideas.
Bluevine provides business owners with customized financing options that meet their specific needs. When you apply for a Bluevine Line of Credit, you’ll also be considered for funding from our network of lending partners.BVSUP-00131 Our partners offer a variety of funding options, including term loans.
Term loans and lines of credit are two different types of business loans:
- A term loan provides a lump sum upfront. You repay on a fixed schedule until you’ve repaid the full sum.
- A line of credit provides access to ongoing funds from which you can request one or more draws and borrow any amount up to your given limit. You repay only what you’ve borrowed on a fixed schedule.
Your repayment schedule and terms may vary and are determined by your lender.
As your business grows and operations become more complex, organizing all your finances through one account can become a headache. Instead, you can open up to 20 sub-accounts under your main Bluevine Business Checking account. Each sub-account has its own account number, making it easy to control which accounts your vendors, suppliers, or sub-contractors can bill.
You can send and receive payments into your sub-accounts, but you can’t order a debit card for or make cash deposits into them.
Eligible customers can earn up to 3.7% APY on main account and sub-account balances with one of our business checking plans.BVSUP-00020

You (the account administrator) can invite your partners and team members to become additional users on your Bluevine account, which lets them manage bills and make payments. There are two different additional user roles—authorized user and contributor—with different permissions.
You can also invite your accountant to become an additional user. With the accountant role, they can access the transaction and tax information they need using their own sign-in credentials.
