Business FAQs

Axos Bank (formerly BofI Federal Bank) is a financial services company that manages nearly $18.4 billion in assets. Founded in 2000, we are one of the first banks to offer banking services exclusively online.

We specialize in leveraging innovative software to help clients save time and money. In September 2018, we announced a new partnership with Nationwide to deliver banking services for their customers.

The transition started November 16, 2018. You may access your account(s) at nationwide.axosbank.com starting November 20, 2018.

We are a member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). At this time, the standard deposit insurance amount is $250,000 per depositor, per insured bank, for each account ownership category. For current information relating to deposit insurance coverage, you may contact the FDIC toll-free at (877) 275-3342 or visit the FDIC website at www.fdic.gov.

Because Nationwide and Axos Bank deposit offerings are different, customers will need to log in separately to access their Nationwide and Axos bank accounts. If you would like to transfer money between your Nationwide and Axos accounts, you can link the Axos Bank account as an external account in your Nationwide online banking platform.

For more information, please don't hesitate to email Axos Bank at [email protected]  or call at 833-232-2967.
