The Best Banks for Entrepreneurs: Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 Options
As a Credit Specialist, I understand the importance of choosing the right bank when starting a new business. Here's a summary of the top banks you should consider, divided into three tiers:
Tier 1 Banks
- Chase Bank - Uses FICO 8 scoring model
- Citibank - Also uses FICO 8 scoring model
- Capital One - Pulls all three credit bureaus when opening accounts
Tier 2 Banks
- Wells Fargo - Uses Experian FICO 9 scoring model, easier to obtain funding, and offers a business credit card and line of credit
- U.S. Bank - Uses FICO 9 scoring model and provides convenience checks for liquidating credit card balances
- PNC Bank - Also uses Experian FICO 9 scoring model
- Minority-Owned Banks - Such as Carver Federal Savings Bank, offer special programs for minority entrepreneurs
Tier 3 Banks
- Credit Unions - Such as Navy Federal Credit Union and Baxter Credit Union, which use Experian FICO 9 and Vantage Score 3 respectively
- Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) - Such as Connector, which are more flexible in working with small and minority-owned businesses
When choosing a bank, consider factors such as the credit scoring model used, the availability of business credit cards and lines of credit, and the overall flexibility in working with new or minority-owned businesses. By starting with the right mix of Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 banks, you can increase your chances of obtaining the funding you need to grow your entrepreneurial venture.
