My rep Michael Chung Help me set up extra perks with my Bluevine account like reoccurring invoices which is a big game changer for business. but also helped with all the concerns i had regarding my stripe account as before reopening my blue vine i had made my stripe on the personal side and not my business so he helped me solved that 10/10

We have a business line of credit with them and when we want to use it it may fund, the next time it is placed on hold so they can do a soft credit pull. This is not how a line of credit works. You get approved for amount and should have access to it as needed with no drama. We have been a customer for years and never an issue with payments, but they are very inconsistent on how they operate. This is not helpful for a small business. As I was speaking with my account rep she apparently did not like my tone and I was hung up on. I was very aggravated obviously. If you are business that needs a reliable line of equity run to a competitor. I can't even get an explanation that makes sense from them on the way the handle the line.

Unfortunately, many of these reviews are fake. What is worse, Bluevine points to this site of the fake reviews of to say, "They are a good Fin Tech".
For small businesses everywhere, trust this: This review is real and they are awful. Trust your hard earned money anywhere else but Bluevine.
Our story:
One of the Worst Business Banking Experiences We Have Ever Had
Our experience with Bluevine after a fraudulent wire transfer has been unacceptable.
As a small business, we trusted Bluevine with our operating funds, and when we needed them most, their response felt slow, dismissive, and completely inadequate. Thousands of dollars were fraudulently transferred, and instead of receiving clear urgency, transparency, and accountability, we have had to chase Bluevine for answers, timelines, documentation, and basic communication.
What makes this worse is that we reported the suspicious activity quickly after receiving notice that a new payee had been added and a wire transfer occurred. In a situation involving fraud, every minute matters.
Yet Bluevine’s process has felt like delay after delay, with little meaningful explanation and no real sense that protecting the business customer is the priority. Their handling of this matter has created additional stress, wasted business time, and complicated our insurance claim process.
Small business owners should think very carefully before relying on Bluevine as their primary business banking platform.
Fraud response is not a minor customer service issue — it is a core banking responsibility. Based on our experience, Bluevine failed to provide the level of protection, urgency, communication, and accountability that any business owner should expect from a financial institution.
I would not recommend Bluevine to any small business owner who needs dependable fraud protection or responsive support when something serious happens.
When fraud hit our account, we felt like we were left to fight for ourselves. This has been a deeply disappointing and costly experience. Stay far AWAY from "Bluevine".
I have had a wonderful experience so far, and William made it so easy and smooth.

William from Bluevine reached out because they noticed that my Stripe account was tied to an old bank account, a closed one in fact. I was so grateful for the proactive outreach - it meant i got my money sooner.

Easy to set up my new business account! I was sent emails and messages to make sure everything went smoothly. Thanks for you help!
