Introducing Arc Platinum - The Premium Cash Management Experience For Startups
Business banking, like other financial services, has historically been a commoditized financial product. Participants offered the same underlying products and services, competing primarily on price and brand rather than real innovation. The result: a hodgepodge of opaque and confusing cash management products that are hard to tell apart from one another.
Unfortunately for customers (specifically, funded startups), all of that complexity has made selecting the right bank harder than it needs to be. At the end of the day, founders and finance teams just want to know that their money is safe, liquid, and earning a competitive yield. With Arc Platinum, founders no longer need to choose between safety, liquidity, and returns — they can have it all.
Arc Platinum is the first premium cash management experience for startups. It's the only experience that’s truly differentiated from anything else in the market – from traditional banks to fintechs.
So, what makes Arc Platinum so different? It’s the only business banking offering that features:
- Yield-bearing accounts built on diverse financial partners³
- Treasury management with zero Arc fees to maximize yield (up to 5.5% net APY on T-Bills as of 9/20/23)²
- Dedicated support complete with onboarding assistance and data-driven financial insights
- Exclusive health & wellness benefits with monthly reimbursements (e.g., Equinox)
- Discounted access to venture debt, revenue financing, and working capital lines
- Early access to Arc’s intelligence tools designed to automate your banking experience
Unlike competing banks or fintechs, Arc Platinum isn’t priced based on a company’s assets, but rather with a flat and transparent monthly fee. Starting at just $249 per month, Arc Platinum provides on average $50,000 per year in incremental savings for the average Series A startup compared to their traditional banking stack. Startups receive complimentary access to Arc Platinum for three months when they sign up before September 30, 2023, and receive 50% off the monthly membership thereafter when they use their Arc account to fund their company’s payroll expenses.
