Extremely under-the-radar company that is killing it 👀 Relay is an SMB-focused all-in-one business banking and money management platform. They are launching spend management, invoicing, payroll & more to their SMB customers this year. Lots of open jobs in NYC and Toronto!

Relay made the 2025 Forbes Fintech 50! 🚀🚀🚀 Proud to be listed among these awesome companies, and even more proud of what this represents: the real impact Relay is having on small business owners across the U.S. and how our team shows up to make them successful. 💰 We have a big vision to enable anyone to build a profitable small business. Our whole company pushes relentlessly, every day, to get us one step closer. Scaling a company isn’t a “normal job” — it takes a huge reserve of stamina, creativity, and resilience to meet the challenges that crop up every single day. An honor like this gives us a chance to step back and appreciate how far we’ve come in the journey. I really am grateful. It’s also a chance to tease what’s coming. 👀 In 2025, Relay is launching spend management, invoicing, payroll, and more—bringing together banking, software, and AI 🤖 into one powerful money management platform. All in service of giving our customers complete cash flow control. 💪 This nod from Forbes is a fun moment of recognition. Looking at the other businesses on the list, many of which I’ve watched and admired for years, I’m honored to be in their company. Our team is always growing. If this mission inspires you, linking our open roles 👇

Relay has quietly been building the single best banking platform for employer SMBs. @ycwest and his team share characteristics with all of the fastest-growing companies I've worked with - a sense of urgency, speed of execution, and customer obsession. And it shows!

Today, we’re thrilled to announce an official partnership between Relay and @ProfitFirstPros. 🎉 We’re bringing our two matching tools—Relay’s platform and the Profit First method—closer together to create greater cash flow clarity, control and profitability for business owners. The Profit First method, authored by @MikeMichalowicz, is already used by 3,000+ Relay customers. We’ve seen first-hand how it creates cash flow clarity and sustainable growth for business owners—and how Relay makes it easy to implement the Profit First system and stick with it. 💡 That's why we've partnered up: to equip business owners and their advisors with the knowledge, tools, and support they need to create cash flow clarity and run sustainable, profitable businesses. 💸 To kick off our partnership, we’re also launching auto-transfer rules—a new Relay feature that lets you put your cash management strategy on auto-pilot. ⚙️ Once set up, smart transfers will automatically allocate money from your Income account to your Profit First accounts: Profit, Taxes, Owner’s Comp and Operating Expenses.

Today, I’m so excited to announce an official partnership between @bankwithrelay and @ProfitFirstPros. 🎉 The truth is that many entrepreneurs operate on a tight budget, and almost all experience cash flow challenges at some point in their journey. They need true visibility into what they’re earning, spending, and saving. Our mission at Relay is to give business owners that clarity and enable their success. 3,000+ Profit First users already depend on Relay for banking. It’s because Relay makes it easy to put the Profit First method into action—and stick with it. We’ve seen first-hand how powerful Profit First is for creating cash flow clarity and sustainable growth for business owners. That’s why Relay is now the official banking platform for Profit First. 💥 To kick off our partnership, we’re launching auto-transfer rules: a new Relay feature that automates cash management, and Profit First allocations, for you. It’s another step in building greater support for Profit First, in addition to existing features like multiple checking accounts and percentage-based transfers. Beyond product, there’s an even deeper alignment between Profit First and Relay: a shared belief that business advisors—accountants, bookkeepers and coaches—play a critical role in the lives of business owners. Profit First, paired with Relay, enables greater financial clarity for business owners, which is why we’re so excited to join forces in keeping you on the money.

If you’re reeling from the news about SVB — you’re not alone. It’s heartbreaking. SVB has been an inextricable part of the startup ecosystem, and it’s shocking to see this happen in a matter of days. I’ve become friends with a few folks at SVB over my years in the tech community, and they’ve always been kind, thoughtful and helpful. My heart goes out to them and to the startups who’ve been affected by this news. To anyone looking for help navigating their banking situation through this: my DMs are open, and Relay’s team is available to help and advise in any way we can.

Hey Twitter, we're now: @bankwithrelay @bankwithrelay @bankwithrelay (Still financial, just friendlier.)

SO excited to announce: We have a brand new look & feel at @bankwithrelay! Our mission is to help small businesses understand exactly how much you’re earning, spending & saving. So we changed our look & feel to better reflect that commitment to you. ➡️ relayfi.com/on-the-money

1. $150 for switching from Brex to Relay: bit.ly/3Qt2DZH 2. A personalized onboarding call with Relay’s support team to make switching easy: bit.ly/3bbt5He If you have questions or need help, reach out to me, @relayfi_deanna, @relay_alise or @RelayFinancial.

The news from Brex is incredibly disappointing. Small businesses are the backbone of the economy and represent more than 90% of all US businesses. We at Relay reject the idea that large, sustainable businesses can't be built around SMEs.

Delivering a consistent client experience without standard operating procedures is tough. In Episode #4 of Gearing Up — the interview series for #accountants and #bookkeepers — our host @BlakeTOliver talks to a CPA firm owner about how he solved this challenge.

We just launched a @GustoHQ integration 🎉 to help business owners, accountants and bookkeepers more meaningfully connect banking and payroll platforms. Get more visibility into payroll & remove admin work. What you get 👇 1/4

We spoke w/ @madelinekpratt of @FearlessFoundry about employee fraud. Madeline shared what it's like to lock ALL your bank accounts, 🔐 how traditional banks can leave you stranded, ⛔️ and why Relay's virtual cards "saved the day." 💳 Full story 👉 hubs.li/Q010VMtr0

The musician is the fantastic Roothub (roothub.com)... he asked us to write down a dozen words on a chalkboard and made an instant anthem about our weekend! You can see when he gets the idea for the hook at 1:28... such a great moment!

I'm still jamming out to the hook from the @btv_vc anthem from Camp BTV a few weeks ago. You're welcome, now it can be your earworm.
