Business banking to stay organized
Karat Banking gives you a U.S. business checking account with no hidden fees and no overdraft fees. You can create up to five separate checking accounts to keep income, expenses, and operations organized. Everything runs through one dashboard, and your funds are FDIC-insured (up to millions of dollars per account) through our banking partner.
Plan and save for tax season
Karat's Automated Tax Planning (ATP) account automatically sets aside a portion of your income throughout the year. Funds are separated from your operating account and earn a higher APY while they sit. You'll also get access to AI Bookkeeping through Karat Premium where your transactions get categorized, your expenses are accounted for, and your reports get prepared. When tax season arrives, you're not scrambling.
A community of creatives
Karat is more than just a banking platform - it's a community of content creators, agencies, and freelancers that co-exist in the creator ecosystem. Karat hosts parties and events bringing together our clientele for fun times and professional networking. Becoming a Karat client gets you access to exclusive events at SXSW, Vidcon, VidSummit, and more!
