I'd NOT recommend Bridge Bank for checking or credit cards. They pitch it as a startup friendly bank - they are currently billboarding San Francisco with an "Entrepreneur not Wantrepreneur" campaign right now - and I've had good rep experience, but it really isn't a seamless process, I've had to contact them on so many occasions about something that isn't set up, or is set up incorrectly. Their connection to Xero doesn't work often, you can't set up Apple Pay, their credit card system is something called EZ Business Card Management (third party?) and has no accounting integrations. It's a Western Alliance subsidiary and their infrastructure is extremely dated.

We've now got Brex (YC W17) credit cards, which is a great service - eg, after you use your card you get a text, take a photo of the receipt (or email it in) and it adds it to the expense - something so simple yet is incredible vs trying to use Xero / QB / Expensify. My one bother with them is they aren't able to help those that haven't raised >$500k in capital / have a large bank account - the only thing they use to approve the account is your checking bank account (shock - trying to link Bridge Bank results in an error!) that they then comb for income/expense history. They offer some good startup-focused rewards, like 2X points on recurring software [1]
