Re:OpenAI CEO Sam Altman sent startup six-figure loan after SVB collapse

My personal bank is Bank of America. I paid the $30 to do "1 business day" I read that as if I did it on Monday it would land Tuesday. Gusto was saying it had to be funded by Monday. Perhaps it would have worked out fine that funds would be unlocked on Monday and Gusto would have been fine with wire initiated on Monday, but this was Friday and everything seemed on fire.
FWIW, Just looked at the screenshot of the wire completion and it does say "Same day". But I did it at after 8pm. Anyway, I felt I did the safest thing to keep the staff from freaking out and for me not to be too stressed through the weekend. I'll have enough headaches moving banks the next two weeks to also be worried about payroll.

It is not. SVB account is frozen. Nothing in or out. Wire had to land March 13th so had to be sent Friday.

Just one anecdote of many. I'm a founder of a bootstrapped startup. We are/were with SVB. On Thursday I tried to get a Brex cash account setup to move some operational cash there but it didn't happen in time. I thought of wiring money out of SVB to my personal account but decided it felt too dodgy. Payroll for 2 weeks ending March 15th had to be funded through Gusto by tomorrow (March 13th). So I did all I could do without delaying payroll, dropped my salary to near zero and wired the payroll money to Gusto from my personal checking account. Being bootstrapped and low headcount this was possible. I'll have to retrospectively do some loan paperwork I guess. It would have been a tougher comms to staff if I didn't happen to have enough liquidity personally.
