A US business bank account as a non resident, explained simply
Can a non resident open a US business bank account online?
Yes. A non resident can open a US business account for an LLC online, without an SSN and without a US visit. Online banks and payment platforms such as Mercury, Wise and Payoneer verify you remotely with your passport and company documents. Most branch banks do ask you to come in person.
What documents does the bank ask for?
Your state formation documents, the EIN letter from the IRS, your Operating Agreement, your passport and proof of a real business, such as a website. The account is opened for the LLC with its EIN. Mismatched names or addresses, and a registered agent address used as the business address, cause most rejections.
Which provider is right for my country?
It depends on where you live. Mercury does not open accounts for founders who live in its prohibited countries, which currently include Pakistan and Nigeria, so founders there usually look at Wise or Payoneer. These lists change, so check each provider's current rules. We help you choose and apply; the provider makes the final decision.
Questions people ask
