Novo as a bank has been good. The only complaint I have is their limits on check deposits and other transfers severely limit my business's ability to operate smoothly. They do let you ask for limit changes, but they seem to only allow temporary limit changes, and that helps... temporarily. That is my only complain though. The app is great, and the features are all great. It's very reliable, no sneaky fees, and doesn't chew up tons of phone resources. 4.75 stars.

Updated* The issues I mentioned in my original review seem to be fixed. Still experiencing issues with certain functions but it seems like the devs are working them out pretty quickly. Original* One of the buggiest apps I've used in quite a while. The design looks nice which is why I didn't give it 1 star, but it constantly freezes, pop-ups with integrations are buggy and I can't even upload a picture without the entire app freezing.

Novo is a good option for business banking. I really appreciate the invoice feature and the detailed historic graphs. However, certain transactions are slower than expected. Depositing my 1st check to the account took almost 10 days to post...that needs to be better! Hopefully it will be faster if I ever need to use a check again in the future. Overall, I feel this is a really good business account option.
