Can people get their money back from SVB (Silicon Valley Bank)?
Last Sunday evening, the Federal Reserve, Department of Treasury, and the FDIC jointly announced a full guarantee on SVB deposits, providing a significant amount of relief to the start-up and venture community. Over the course of Monday and Tuesday, numerous early reports indicated successful ACH transactions (both pull and push), wire transfers, and payroll debits. While some users faced login issues, these were hopefully temporary technical glitches. If you are having issues accessing your account, we recommend you try switching devices or browsers, or simply change your internet connection if you are attempting to access SVB online.
It also seems that phone support and live customer service for SVB are now operational, available for those unable to access the online portal. And by Tuesday, payments have been observed flowing smoothly both into and out of SVB accounts.

“Our previous bill pay process probably took a good 10 hours per AP batch. Now it just takes a couple of minutes between getting an invoice entered, approved, and processed.”

“It's great to be able to park our operating cash in the Ramp Business Account where it earns an actual return and then also pay the bills from that account to maximize float.”

“The practice managers love Ramp, it allows them to keep some agency for paying practice expenses. They like that they can instantaneously attach receipts at the time of transaction, and that they can text back-and-forth with the automated system. We've gotten a lot of good feedback from users.”

Director of FP&A, Align ENTA
“The reason I've been such a super fan of Ramp is the product velocity. Not only is it incredibly beneficial to the user, it’s also something that gives me confidence in your ability to continue to pull away from other products.”

CEO, Abode
“Switching to Ramp for Bill Pay saved us not only time but also a significant amount of money. Our previous AP automation tool cost us around $40,000 per year, and it wasn’t even working properly. Ramp is far more functional, and we’re getting the benefits at a fraction of the cost.”
