Summary

Hey BA Fam!
We’re back with a classic BA Q&A. Mandi is joined by Yanely Espinal (aka MissBeHelpful) and Marc Russell from BetterWallet to answer Amber’s question: What should I look for when opening a business bank account—and what are the red flags?

Whether you’re launching a side hustle or running a full-on business, this convo breaks down what really matters when choosing where to bank.

We get into:
💼 Why keeping business and personal funds separate is a must
🏦 Traditional vs. digital banks—what works best for your biz
💸 Fees, features, and must-haves (like QuickBooks integration)
🔌 How local banks and credit unions can come through
📍And yes, why Mandy’s low-key ready to move back to ATL...

Banks we mention: BlueVine, PNC, Amex Business, TD Bank, and more.
