Horrible bank
Horrible bank. 5 days in and still no account. They keep coming back with more and more questions. It takes an act of God to open an account here. There are much better solutions then Grasshopper. Try Found or Lili (Sunrise Bank NA.) Much better experience and quicker service. Grasshopper is a joke. They hop backwards when others take you forward.

Hi Marco,
We appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective with us and would love to get to the bottom of what happened. However, we're unfortunately unable to investigate this further with the information provided in your review, and we never received a response send on our behalf by TrustPilot requesting additional information.
As a federally chartered bank, we are legally obligated to thoroughly vet the the individuals and companies we support. And while we recognize that answering extra questions and providing documentation may feel like a hassle, these steps are an essential part of how we keep our banking environment secure and compliant for everyone.
If you would like us to take a closer look, please respond to the information request, and we will conduct a review and get back to you with clarification once we have received and assessed the details. In the meantime, we will be using this feedback as an opportunity to strengthen how we communicate and support applicants in similar situations.
Only Forward,
Grasshopper Bank

A convenient online bank with great UX using either its app or website so far. It is not the most featureful (for example one, would love to be able to send Zelle!), but definitely has all that I need in a business banking account: simple saving, easy to use checking with overdraw protection, simple to setup ACH transfers, rapid response from online support.

Update:
Once the personal information was provided the transfers started to occur. Still slow but working.
Invasion of personal privacy by asking for documents that contain a lot of personal information. It would be nice to know what information can be redacted so requirements are met without providing unnecessary information.

Hi there,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We recognize that perspectives on data sharing may vary, and what is a standard regulatory procedure from a banking standpoint can feel like a significant request for personal information from a business owner’s point of view.
However, as a federally regulated bank, we are legally required to perform due diligence to verify the identity of our clients and the legitimacy of the business entities we support. In some situations, additional documentation is required to confirm business ownership and certain account activity. These measures are not discretionary and are foundational to help protect our clients and the broader financial system.
Our goal is to request only what is necessary, and all information is handled with the highest level of security and privacy safeguards. If you are ever unsure about what is being requested, or would like help understanding the process, our Client Services team is ready to assist. We appreciate your continued cooperation and remain committed to helping you meet these requirements while ensuring the process is as simple and straightforward as possible.
Only Forward,

Hi Lucas,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. As a digital bank, we take a strong approach to security and risk management, which sometimes can interfere with the way clients operate their businesses. While our policies and procedures are designed to keep our clients and the bank safe, we’re always open to feedback that helps us improve the way they work in practice—this was one of those cases.
After taking a closer look, we see that a member of our team has already reached out regarding the rejection and confirmed that you’re clear to resubmit the deposit. We’re glad this was addressed and appreciate your patience while we worked through it.
We hope this isolated incident hasn’t diminished your view of the broader digital banking experience we aim to deliver, and we look forward to earning your confidence—and that 5-star rating—in the future.

Customer service interactions
I got stuck with an online application and could not move forward. Had to call customer service who weren't very helpful at first. Then I got approved somehow but did not khow to navigate the platform. Debit card was sent automatically which I have a problem with. It should be requested by a customer and not be send out without authorization. Eventually, I scheduled an online web appointment and did get all my questions answered that took a solid one hour to go through the website in detail, but it was absolutely necessary to feel comfortable using the business innovator checking account and get acclamated with all its features and add-on services offered.
