US Banking Assistance · $99

Open your US business bank account as a non-resident, faster, through our banking partners.

We match your company with the partner account that fits how you get paid, prepare a complete, bank-ready application, and introduce it through our partner channel, so it doesn't come back asking for a missing letter or a mismatched name.

Eligibility (which countries, business types and documents are accepted) is set by each provider and changes from time to time. We check it against your situation before you apply, not after a rejection.

Why applications get stuck, and how we fix it

Most delays aren't the provider being slow. They're the provider asking for something that should have been in the first submission.

What usually goes wrong

  • Applying with “EIN pending” before the IRS confirmation letter arrives
  • The company name differs by a comma or an “LLC” between documents
  • The registered agent address given as the operating address
  • No website, or a vague description of what the business sells
  • A blurry, expired or missing ID for an owner holding 25% or more
  • Applying to a provider that doesn't accept your country or business model

What we do instead

  • We apply with the EIN letter in hand (CP 575 or Letter 147C)
  • We check that every name, number and address matches, character for character
  • We use your real operating address and explain the rest
  • We write a clear business description a compliance team can approve
  • We check each owner's ID and proof of address before anything is sent
  • We match you to a partner that accepts your country and your model

Why our clients hear back faster

Every round of “please re-upload” adds days. We front-load all of it: the right provider, the right documents and a consistent story from the first page to the last.

Because we're a partner, your application is introduced directly instead of arriving cold, and we handle the provider's follow-up questions with you until there's a decision.

Providers may charge their own account fees. We tell you what to expect before you apply.

What you'll need

Every provider asks for roughly the same package. We help you assemble it once and reuse it.

Formation documents

Articles of Organization or Certificate of Formation from your state.

EIN confirmation

The IRS CP 575 notice, or a Letter 147C replacement.

Passport

A clear colour scan for every owner holding 25% or more.

Proof of address

A recent utility bill or bank statement. An address abroad is fine.

Business details

A working website or a clear description of what you sell and who pays you.

Operating agreement

Some providers ask for it, so keep a signed copy ready.

No company or EIN yet? We can form your LLC and get your EIN first.

Common questions

Can you guarantee my account will be approved?

No, and be wary of anyone who says they can. Every provider makes its own decision. What we can do is make sure your application is complete, consistent and sent to a provider that accepts businesses like yours, which is where most rejections and delays come from.

Are all of these banks?

Not all of them. Some are banks or bank-backed apps; others are regulated payment and e-money platforms that give you account details for receiving and sending money. We explain exactly what you get with each, so you choose knowing the difference.

Do I need to visit the US?

No. Our partners onboard remotely, so the whole process happens online: application, identity checks and account setup.

Do I need an EIN first?

Yes. Providers want your EIN confirmation letter (CP 575, or a Letter 147C replacement), not just the number. If you don't have one yet, our EIN service can get it for you.

How long does it take?

It depends on the provider and on your file. Clean applications are often decided within days, while some providers take longer or come back with questions. Having every document ready from the start is the biggest factor you control.

What does it cost?

Our US Banking Assistance is a one-time $99. Any account fees are set by the provider, and we tell you what to expect before you apply.

Can I open more than one account?

Yes. Many founders use two, for example one for receiving USD from marketplaces and one for multi-currency payouts. We can help you plan which combination makes sense.
