Overview
Axos Bank is a branchless, FDIC-insured bank, which distinguishes it from the fintech platforms in this list: deposits are held by Axos itself rather than a partner. Its Basic Business Checking account has no monthly maintenance fee, no minimum opening deposit and no minimum balance, and allows unlimited transactions without transaction fees[8]. Axos reimburses domestic ATM fees without a cap, waives fees on incoming domestic and international wires, and reimburses two outgoing domestic wires per month[8].
Standard FDIC coverage is $250,000, and Axos offers an Insured Cash Sweep through IntraFi Network Deposits that it says can extend coverage up to $265 million[8]. At the time of review, Axos advertised up to $200 cash back for new small-business customers whose businesses were formed less than a year earlier, payable at $50 per month when an average daily balance of $3,000 is maintained, with an early closure fee of up to $200 if the account is closed within 180 days[8]. The product page does not explain how cash is deposited, and Axos has no branch network, so owners with frequent cash takings face extra steps compared with a branch bank.
