Why is Novo a Top Brex Alternative?
Novo is Built for Small Businesses
Novo offers an award-winning, powerful, and free business checking account for small businesses. Experience all the benefits of modern business banking without hidden fees, annual fees, or account minimums.
As a mobile-first business banking platform, we offer you the freedom to view and manage your business finances from the palm of your hand. Novo is available on iOS and Android so that you can do your business banking anywhere, anytime. Check out our mobile app: Novo for iOS or Novo for Android.
We also make your security and peace of mind a top priority. With Novo, your money is FDIC insured through our banking partner, and your information is secure with bank-grade encryption.
95% Faster Cash Flow for Stripe Users with Novo Boost
Receive payments up to 95% faster than with a standard checking account. Novo Boost is a completely free feature available to all Novo customers who receive payments from Stripe. A payout process that could ordinarily take 3 or more days now happens in a fraction of the time, vastly reducing cash flow friction and enabling our customers to reinvest for growth. Learn more about faster money movement with Novo Boost.
Unlike Brex Instant Payouts, Novo Boost doesn’t cost a cent. No more leveraging your sales just to get paid faster!
Express ACH Transfers
While typical ACH transfers take between 1 and 3 days to process, Express ACH with Novo enables you to initiate same-day and next-day ACH transfers. Significantly reduce waiting time and free up your cash flow.
Coming from Brex? We’re waiving Express ACH fees for 3 months for all accounts with a verified Brex connection through Plaid API. (For a nominal fee, all other customers can select either a same-day or a next-day ACH transfer.)
Novo’s Express ACH transfers are an excellent alternative to Zelle. We currently don’t support Zelle on our platform, but emerging payment technologies are on our roadmap for the future.
Business Debit Cards
Novo offers a physical business debit card and a virtual card free of charge with your Novo account. For faster cash flow and immediate access to business funds, the Novo Virtual Card is available to activate as soon as you open your account. The Novo Virtual Card is usable for both online and in-person purchases, and it can connect instantly with Apple and Google pay. Learn more about the Novo Virtual Card.
