Optimize your cash from day one.

Founders need fast access to banking services from day one, and Brex and Stripe Atlas together make it incredibly easy by allowing you to apply for a Brex business account at the moment of incorporation.

You can now apply for a Brex business account immediately after incorporating through Stripe Atlas, and non-US founders won’t have to wait weeks or months for an Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the IRS. This partnership ensures you can put your money to work right away and get your startup off the ground faster.

Stripe Atlas is a trusted, easy-to-use platform for global founders to incorporate U.S. companies and turn their business dreams into reality. In fact, in 2024, 1 in 6 new Delaware C corporations incorporates with Stripe Atlas. And with 1 in 3* U.S. startups using Brex, this powerhouse partnership offers unparalleled expertise to the startup community.

Start your business with strong cash management.

Any delays in accessing banking services and leveraging the cash you do have can delay launching other areas of your business. When you can open a Brex business account without waiting until the IRS processes your EIN filing, depositing, protecting, and managing your money won’t slow you down.

In my 20-plus years working with founders, cash management isn’t immediately top of mind for them, and it’s not a core component of most startup accelerator programs. However, getting it right can save you a lot of worry down the road.

A Brex business account** provides a powerful cash management tool right out of the gate. With Brex, startups can:

And for a limited time, when you incorporate your business with Stripe Atlas and qualify to open a new Brex business account, we’ll fully reimburse your Delaware C-Corp incorporation fee (a $500 value) once you’re approved.***

Choosing the right financial partner is critical.

Perhaps the most significant piece of this partnership for founders is the long-term impact.

More than a year after the Silicon Valley Bank failure, a startup’s approach to managing its finances is more important than ever. Choosing a financial partner that uniquely understands the startup landscape can accelerate how fast you grow.

Startup lending is down amid higher interest rates, and VCs are taking a more measured approach to investing. They are prioritizing companies with strong cash management and clear paths to profitability. But even as venture funding slowed, Stripe Atlas saw record startup formation in 2023. Startups are just getting scrappier.

Today’s startups, then, have shifted their focus to becoming cash-flow positive faster, and they must find creative ways to extend their runway, gain more working capital, and drive efficient growth. That’s why partners like Brex, who provide financial solutions designed for startups, optimized for flexibility, and built for speed, are so important.
