Starting a traditional US bank costs $10-30M in capital (per FDIC/OCC requirements for reserves, often $20-50M total including setup), varying by type/scale. Digital banks are cheaper ($20K-$1M for tech/fintech setups).
Process: 1) Draft business plan & assemble team. 2) Raise capital. 3) Apply for charter (OCC for national or state). 4) Secure FDIC insurance & Fed approval. 5) Launch. Timeline: 1-2 years of regulation.
Consider starting with fintech partnerships for lower barriers.
