This. So much this.

I've been bootstrapping my startup with Regions bank for 3 years and it has been one unending nightmare after another.

It's been like having an active and hateful adversary at every single moment when you need help most.

I was extremely fortunate to be able to open an account with SVB late last year and it had been an enormous relief.

The unreasonable delays, hostile policies, nickel and diming, obvious incompetence, all gone.

Fast loading web experiences, instant transfers, employee credit cards, full service treatment, everything has been seamless with SVB.

My account is below the FDIC threshold, so I'm optimistic about Monday, but the loss is so huge and so much more than the money.
