Relay¹—the small business banking and money management platform enabling peak profitability—announced that American small businesses have entrusted them with more than $1 billion in managed customer deposits through Thread Bank, Member FDIC.¹ This milestone is a vote of confidence by the more than 110,000 self-made small business owners using Relay. As the banking platform on a mission to make every business great with money, Relay stands with these entrepreneurs as they chart their path to healthier, more profitable businesses.
“Every dollar deposited signals the trust of the small and medium-sized businesses who bank with us,” said Yoseph West, Co-Founder and CEO of Relay.¹ “These are tireless owners, grinding every day to build stronger businesses, and better lives for themselves and their families. For these electricians, florists, real estate agents, and many other business owners across the U.S., reliable banking and money management tools are mission-critical. We’re honored to be part of that.”
The announcement of $1 billion in managed customer deposits comes as Relay¹ evolves to become the financial command center for American small businesses, enabling cash flow clarity and 360 financial decision-making with products and features that put profit first. Over the past year, Relay has expanded its core offering beyond business banking accounts.¹ Today, the platform is a powerful suite of integrated banking and money management tools that enable small business owners to take control of their cash flow.
A year of product breakthroughs inspired by the self-made business owner:

Relay Visa® Credit Card2: A cash flow safety net that helps businesses stay afloat amid financial curveballs, with as many as 50 employee cards, custom designs, and up to 1.5% cash back on all business spending.3
