When critical equipment fails, it can leave you choosing between paying your bills on time or paying yourself. Because when you own a small business, cash flow problems — like broken machinery and the downtime it brings — can sneak up on you putting your operations at risk and your stress into overdrive.
You don’t have to be at the mercy of your moody equipment. With Relay, be ready for any costly surprise by taking control of your cash flow. Like, using auto-transfer rules to build an emergency fund so there is always cash on hand to cover unplanned expenses.
Small business banking for cash flow clarity. That’s Relay ➡️ https://t.co/8TNx5ihsT2

@ValerieZamfdgo@ycwest We hear you and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Our support team has followed up by email and they will continue supporting you there. Thank you for your patience.
Small business banking is finally being built around operators, not bank branches.
@bankwithrelay secured a $50M growth investment from @generalcatalyst as @ycwest and Paul Klicnik scale business banking, cash-flow visibility, and Relay Capital for more than 150,000 small businesses.
The next fintech winners will not just hold deposits. They will give operators the clarity and capital to keep moving.
I'm REALLY excited to announce our lineup for the Shortlist in Toronto.

This might be our best event yet.

Small businesses are what give our neighbourhoods their character.
Caroline Weaver knows this firsthand. She started The Locavore to help people find the makers and shops that make a place feel like home.

Some people chose the easy way. Caroline Weaver, owner of The Locavore, chose New York City.
Here's to the ones who built it the hard way.

We just improved the Annual Percentage Yield (APY) on all Relay Savings accounts.
Why? Because we believe your money should work as hard as you do.

I think more founders should talk about imposter syndrome. It can follow you everywhere in the early days of building your business.
I distinctly remember feeling it while on a flight to San Francisco to meet investors for the very first time. Trying to convince smart people to leave stable jobs and take a bet on Relay. Or when I was talking to big customers while our product was barely off the ground.
When something’s not working at that stage, it’s hard not to take things personally. And in a sense it is personal: your product doesn’t have any track record, so people are making a bet on you.
I’d treat every moment as a way to prove that Relay could get to the next step, which also meant that I’d be judging how well or poorly things were going in real time. And by doing that I was never fully present.
What got me out of it was advice that I still use to this day. There’ll be a ton of high-stakes moments while building a company. Before each one, stop and visualize things going well. Actually picture it in detail: the energy in the room, the back-and-forth, then reaching the outcome you're working toward. Once I started doing this regularly, I noticed my own energy shifting. It's like your brain stops anticipating what could go wrong and starts scanning for opportunities. In practice, meetings just go better.
Genuinely one of the most useful mental tools I've picked up over the last 7 years.
We've helped 180,000+ small businesses access over $6B in capital since 2013.
Now we're scaling that impact by powering the platforms SMBs already trust. Our CEO @pfuloria breaks down how with @ycwest from @bankwithrelay.

"If one wing is broken, the whole bird doesn't fly."
@AuxilioPartners keeps the business side of 160+ churches running so pastors can focus on ministry.
Outdated banking made that harder than it should've been. Relay made it scalable.
