American music tech startup Nerve has announced the launch of the first-ever neobank to be designed specifically for musicians. Also titled 'Nerve', the new digital-only bank will combine user experience and financial technologies to assist recording artists in the process of launching sustainable careers.
The platform will cater to both English and Spanish-speaking musicians and will come equipped with a range of tools designed to help them plan and manage their financial futures. Features of Nerve will include FDIC-insured business debt and savings accounts, access to streaming and social media data, private networking opportunities, free instant payments to other Nerve users, and access to 55,000 free ATMs.
"Banks of days past would offer services that their local geography needed. Today, banking communities aren’t defined by rivers and railroads, but by the shared experience and goals of their customers," said the CEO of Nerve, John Waupush.
