Avoid Relay at all costs

Avoid Relay at all costs. Their onboarding and authentication architecture is fundamentally broken. After demanding highly sensitive corporate, personal, and banking documentation, their system completely fails to deliver verification SMS codes—locking applicants out with zero alternative 2FA fallbacks or voice verification options.

Worse, customer support is non-existent. Inquiries go completely ignored, leaving applications stalled indefinitely while your company's most sensitive data sits hostage on their servers.

Collecting full corporate formation papers, tax IDs, and identification while refusing to process applications or provide basic access looks far less like legitimate banking and far more like a data harvesting operation. If a fintech company cannot even deliver an authentication code or answer a support ticket, they should not be trusted with corporate funds. Complete waste of time and a serious privacy concern.

Was easy to setup

Was easy to setup, connect to stripe, and my few support needs so far have been promptly handled (thanks, Audrey!). Communication and general customer service has been great.

Excellent support throughout the account setup process

I had a very positive experience with Relay while setting up a new business banking account. The application required a few follow-ups, including correcting the legal business name, resolving a document-upload issue, and completing additional verification.

The Customer Experience team was responsive, professional, and patient throughout the process. They followed up internally when needed, kept me informed, and made sure each issue was resolved properly rather than giving generic responses.

I especially appreciated the prompt communication and attention to detail. The entire process ultimately went smoothly, and my account was successfully approved and activated.

Based on my experience so far, I’m very pleased with Relay’s customer service and would happily recommend them to other business owners.

No customer service

They asked for some information from me to keep the account open. Due to an illness I wasn't on top of my emails and I missed the deadline they had set. Because I missed it, they decided to close the account without the possibility to appeal. That's an odd way to conduct business, but hey, there are other banks out there! After being contacted by them, yet there is no willingness to understand what happened and how it can be resolved. Boldly claiming on their response to have addressed the challenges. No you have not!

Terrible company

Terrible company. I was with them for over a year and they abruptly shut down my account with no explanation aside from compliance making the choice. I have never done anything illegal, international based, or out of the norm. They gave me just 2 days to move my money out of my account. Complete scam. Do not bother

They closed the account without cause and then issued a worthless check to a foreign national! They insist they sent the check, but nothing has arrived; they are simply deceiving the business. I am still here seeking your assistance, but if this isn't resolved, I will file a complaint with third-party authorities, including the CFPB.
