Corporate account options beyond the usual suspects

Been pondering the state of corporate banking lately, especially for those of us operating across borders. It seems like the default advice always steers towards the big, established players, which is fine if you like exorbitant fees and customer service that makes you feel like an inconvenience. But for smaller outfits, or those with more niche requirements, it feels like there's a whole world of perfectly legitimate, albeit less-marketed, offshore and digital options that get overlooked because they're not Bank of America or HSBC.

I'm thinking about the flexibility, the lower overheads, and often the surprisingly robust compliance frameworks some of these challenger banks or even specific regional players offer. It's not about hiding money; it's about efficient, cost-effective operations. Does anyone else feel like the conversation around corporate accounts is too often limited to the biggest names, thereby missing out on potentially better-suited alternatives for many businesses? Push back if you think I'm off base.
