Signing Up for Slash: What You'll Need to Get Started

Overview

Slash is a financial services platform that offers four distinct product lines. Before beginning your application, it's important to understand which product you're applying for, as each carries different documentation and eligibility requirements:

1. Business Banking: Our business banking platform is available to US-incorporated entities only. This encompasses users located within the U.S. as well as applicants abroad with a qualifying U.S. business entity. The business banking account grants access to the Slash Card, full payment rails, expense management, and more. Crypto and treasury features are not automatically included.
2. Treasury: Available to approved Slash business banking customers with US-incorporated entities. Treasury is not automatically included with your business banking account and must be enabled separately.
3. Slash Crypto: Available to approved Slash business banking customers as a separate application. The crypto application requires an additional compliance review; some business types and geographic locations may not be eligible even with an active banking account.
4. Global USD Account: Designed for non-US companies that need US banking capabilities. This product provides a US account with routing number and enables sending and receiving USDC and USDT cryptocurrency payments without requiring a US-based company structure. This is a separate application from business banking.

Required Materials for Business Banking and Treasury Applications

U.S.-incorporated business (LLCs, Limited Partnerships, C Corps, and S Corps) applying to Slash for business banking or treasury should have the following items on hand:

1. Business Information: Your business's name, date of incorporation, phone number, and address.

4. Residential addresses for beneficial owners on the account.

6. Articles of Incorporation: The official formation documents issued when your company was legally established.
7. Credit Card or Bank Statements: Submit two recent statements from another financial institution. These statements help Slash understand your projected account activity levels and typical transaction patterns.
8. Proof of Operating Activity: Provide documentation that demonstrates your business is actively operating and generating revenue. Acceptable documents may include recent invoices, contracts, revenue statements, or other evidence of ongoing business operations.
9. (If in DE or NJ) Certificate of Good Standing: If your business is incorporated in Delaware or New Jersey, you must provide a current Certificate of Good Standing from your state.
