Best All-In-One Bank for operating and managing CRE
Good Afternoon BP!
As the title says, I'm in the market for a new bank; hopefully one that can do it ALL efficiently and with great user-friendliness.
I've tried to keep it "local" and support my community, but it's just not working out. The bank I've have been using, is stuck in the 20th century e.g. no automatic payments, very basic online features, doesn't link to QBs. Still require wet signatures on most documents (even though they can't tell me why a "wet" signature is still required), difficult to transfer money out of the account etc. Since I recently moved 4,000 miles away from the local branch, every banking task no matter how easy and trivial has turned into a time consuming inefficient process. Venting over.
So, I'm looking for a bank specializes in small businesses and that has three main features:
- Great online/mobile platform that has all of the latest features: wire/transfer funds, auto-pay, invoicing, no or limited fees, links with Quick Books, categorizing transactions, etc.
- Offers competitive-rate/feature lines of credit and/or credit cards to Real Estate investment and management companies
- Specializes in small (100K-2M) CRE financing that can: refinance, fund acquisition, umbrella, blanket, portfolio loans.
I've done a couple searches and it looks like Wells Fargo and Capital One are the front runners.
