Comment on What Happens When Your Bank Isn't a Bank and Your Money Disappears?parent

Were you using FRB for private banking or commercial banking?

Private/Relationship banking might be lackluster with JPM depending on your account size.

Idk if I'd trust a non-FDIC insured bank and any bank that isn't Basel 1/2 compliant so most Neobanks seem too risky. They anyhow prefer to use state chartered banks which tend to be significantly more brittle than nationally chartered banks.

I had both. I switched my personal to the Sanford credit union (I don’t keep a lot of cash in my account anyway).

I’m not sure what to do about my startup’s account though. Chase doesn’t seem to understand startups anyway — you’re a small business or a big business. For the company’s money I want someone who gives a shit.

Makes sense.

For your startup, check out HSBC as well then - a lot of SVB and FRB staff specialized in tech commercial banking switched there as well.

Also maybe try and find where your former SVB banker with whom you had a relationship went - they could help with the transition and give you the care needed.
