Thriday - An alternative to ING that is more than a bank

Opening a business bank account should not feel like running a marathon. With Thriday, you can get your business up and running in minutes. In fact, when you open a bank account* with Thriday online, your BSB and Account Number is generated instantly. This means you can start getting paid that second. With ING, after you fill out the paper form, you then need to wait for someone to review it, and open the account. Who knows how long it will take! Any funds you have with Thriday will earn {{interestRate}} across all accounts without losing flexibility or functionality. Traditional banks offer business savings accounts where you may lose functionality like payments and cards and term deposits where your money is tied up for a period of time before the interest is paid. The best part about Thriday is there is nothing for you to do. Just keep your money in your Thriday accounts, and interest is earned daily and paid monthly.

ING requires you to open a business transaction via a PDF form. Perhaps they'll ask you to deliver it via horse and cart as well. With Thriday, you can open a bank account* online in minutes. All checks are done online, and there is need for PDF forms. Move to a modern platform and enjoy Thriday today.

Thriday allows you to send unlimited invoices and quotes. You can personalise your template, even add your logo and select a colour to match your brand.

Stay on top of each transaction instantly with Thriday's automated transaction reconciliation service.

Requesting an accountant to create your profit and loss, cashflow statement and balance sheet can cost you hundreds of dollars.
