Chase was great...until they shut down my bank account a few months ago.
I'm pretty happy with BofA and Capital One. I also use Discover for savings.

A very big drawback of BOA

They were the worst of all of the banks I experienced. Cap 1 was a bit of a hassle since it went through a central estate unit but it got done in one shot and only meant a delay of about a week and then needing to go to a branch a second time. Sovereign, Chase, TD, Valley, and some smaller banks all issued checks either to the estate or beneficiary on the spot.

What would be to go to FREE checking account for business ?

not too many transactions, no cash deposits needed, mobile deposit a plus, apply online a big PLUS

I don't know if that exists, rather look for an account with an easily waivable fee.

I have a business account with smallbusinessbank.com (not my only business account). Only bank I found that offered a desktop check scanner option with no monthly fees. You could buy your own scanner, or get one from them for a $400 deposit IIRC.

Their online interface is very outdated (though quite functional for certain things), and the mobile app leaves a lot to be desired, but if you're looking for low volume, no cash, and desktop deposits in a business account without a monthly fee, smallbusinessbank.com might be your answer.

Yes.
their UI sucks, their sms commands sucks, if you schedule a payment its hard to see that you have a pending payment, to activate otp online says to call in after calling they tell you go to the branch...

Chase is a breeze

In that sense I agree. I see them as growing a lot in the future, fix their app, and site and theyll be amazing.
