It’s true that a 24 year old start up founder can’t just walk into a BoA branch and deposit the entire series A funds into a business checking account. We just had an object lesson in why not.
That doesn’t mean there’s no way for a start up to have a banking relationship with BoA.
- anovikov 4y agoWhy not? I am 100% missing something here, but how someone trying to deposit money into the banks may increase risks? Unless there's a reason to believe the money is stolen or otherwise could be reclaimed, which shouldn't be the case if it's coming from a major SV fund?
- bradleyjg 4y agoA deposit creates a liability for the bank. It also creates an asset that can be used to generate a return. It also creates various operational costs. The way those three things play out the more likely it is for a depositor to suddenly ask for a lot or all his money back the more risky it is for the bank. Both in terms of creating a bank run and just in terms of losing money on the relationship.
