How to open a U.S Bank Account as a non resident and non citizen?

[RibljaCorba]

Hello,

Recently I opened my LLC in the States, and I am looking for a way to open an online bank account. I tried Wise, but it doesn't let me to get a physical card for whatever reason...

Are there banks that allow non-residents to open accounts online? I can't go to the US personally as I am not visa eligible.

Email them.

Expect a No. Banks will not do businness with people whom they cannot do a face to face kyc.

Generally you cannot go to a country on tourist visa and expect to open a bank account. Compliance is strict these days.

You can open an account with Euro Pacific Bank in Puerto Rico without having to go there. I did it and I live in Australia.

Is Puerto Rico part of US?

Do some research.

Easy. Relayfi, Mercury

You'll need a virtual mailbox in the US. I use Businessanywhere.io (@GlobalWealth 's company)

They formed my LLCs too. And they link up with Relayfi for creating bank accounts online.

I am pretty sure Mercury does, depends on your country

Mercury is one bank in which you can open a bank account.

However, before you open a bank account with them, read their terms and conditions so your bank account doesn't get blocked by them.

Euro Pacific Bank – what’s happened?

HMRC has announced that it is investigating UK taxpayers with connections to Euro Pacific Bank (EPB), which is based in Puerto Rico.

I second this comment by @BigRomeDawg . Look up virtual mailbox companies. Some of the companies will provide a physical US based address for your US company with a lease agreement. This will take you one step closer to obtaining a US bank account. Many of the virtual mailbox companies have physical addresses but not lease agreements. Those are unlikely to work for the US bank.

The alternative depending on where you live is to use a US bank with multinational branch office in your country

Example Virtualpostmail Link .

Use www.businessanywhere.io homes. Fastlaner owned and operated.

What would you need a lease agreement for? Not simply for a bank account I assume. I've never been asked for one when opening a bank account.

Hey, I suggest you go to www.businessanywhere.io, the owner is a part of the forum and I'm also going to register through him in the following months.
Seeing that we are from the same country (and city lol, I just don't live in Banja Luka currently) the legal should be similar if not the same, and to me, the above service has a good plan that provides a virtual mailbox which is what we would need.
