Is this bonus for small businesses only? Can I not apply for it as an individual?
So this is expired now it is January 1, 2025 right? Also if I have several LLCs, would I be able to start this account for each of them and still get the bonus (when they run this promotion again?). Thanks.
link still works, I don't see the expiration on the actual Relay site anywhere
dunno if you'd be paid, but worth considering.
I imagine: "Offer applies to users who do not yet have a Relay account" means 1 per person, regardless of the number of llcs you have
I’m in! Applied today sole proprietor. It said 1-2 days approval. Yet was approved within a few hours. How long do we have to keep it open? Are there any fees?
Did you read the post at all?
Initially approved but then account locked and closed. I received same email as Davis below and submitted Facebook marketplace sales for my “retail” business. I guess they didn’t like my answer and closed my account. P2 opened account with same exact business info and no issues so far, so not sure what triggers their review. They said if the $100 is transferred successfully (it’s already been debited from linked account), it will be held for 45 days while their “banking partners conduct their closed account investigation”. Should be a fun time trying to get it back
That sucks! Should I wait to fund mine?
I funded mine with $107. Will give it time to see if I get the $150.
Probably. We have until January 15, per the offer page.
DP: Applied the evening of December 31 as a sole prop bookkeeper using a Gmail address. I have an EIN, but was asked for my SSN only. Linked a bank via Plaid. Went pending "for 1-2 days" but received approval email after 45 minutes.
Has anyone tried opening two accounts—one with an SSN and another with a single-member LLC?
Appproved, applied as sole proprietor with SS and personal Gmail account. Did the selfie and drivers license pics.
I applied through the $150 for $100 link, but there was a glitch in the process and the application was incomplete.
I got an email soon after to complete my app for a chance to win $25k with $100 deposit, but no mention of $150 bonus.
Hopefully not an issue, although I would rather win $25k than $100!
Same thing happened to me…glitch, email and all. I emailed them to confirm the $150 promo attached and they said it did.
How did you email them? I can’t find their email address. Thanks.

Relay is great, been using them since Brex rolled my account over, it was super easy. No fees, no worries. I'm a sole prop with EIN never asked me for LLC
Rejected. Applies as a sole prop with a personal gmail account. I do have an actual business but no online presence.
I suspect most don't have an online presence.
I checked the "no online presence" box and my app was approved
Got my account locked and had to upload documents and information for:
My account was unlocked after submitting some eBay sell orders I've done over the year.
Did you sign up as sole prop with SSN? What have you done on the account so far?
Yes signed up as sole proprietor with my social security number. Initiated a $100 pull into the account.
I did same as you for P1 and P2. I wonder what triggers the review
