Legal Counsel, Bluevine

Having already loaned billions of dollars with tens of thousands of active customers, Bluevine aims to be the largest bank in the United States for small businesses. While there are over 4,000 banks in the US which are theoretically rivals in this ambition, few of them target the SME market or provide a comprehensive range of financial services to meet their needs.

Bluevine's recent partnerships with Wave and Stripe show a company steadily rounding out its promise to be a true financial hub for small businesses. By pulling banking, accounting, and payments into one streamlines experiences, it's helping owners stay organized and get paid faster without juggling multiple tools.
