Bottom Line
Open is the closest thing to SpacePe on this list, and for a single-bank startup it is a fair choice. The moment you hold accounts at three banks, need FD and treasury visibility, or have to hand an auditor a complete trail, the single-account model runs out - and that is exactly where SpacePe starts.
