Why We Chose Azlo:
Azlo is designed for entrepreneurs. The bank doesn't charge for payments and transfers, offers unlimited transactions, and does not require a minimum balance.
Azlo's digital platform is easy to use and practical. An account can be opened from a phone or computer. The platform allows integrations with other software like Quickbooks, Paypal, and TransferWise. And, unlike most banks, Azlo allows for digital invoices to be created and sent directly from an account.
Things to Consider When Evaluating Banks for Online Businesses:
- What services does your business need, and how much does the bank charge for these services.
- Consider not only the services your business needs in the short-term but also those it might need in two years.
