While Stripe team is great and it's always good to place all services under one roof, both registering US corporation and opening US bank account online is not something new, Harvard Business Services (www.delawareinc.com) had done company formation for years for startups and the fee is nicer ($250 single payment + $50/year for registered agent vs Atlas $500 single payment + $125/year for registered agent). Atlas is twice more expensive, which may be sensitive for early-stage startups.

We formed a C-corp with HBS. Then opened SVB account for free, printed standard incorporation docs, got EIN from IRS and opened account with Braintree (could be Stripe as well), all for free. We just had to use different websites instead of one, but no additional difficulties.
