EMI with US bank accounts

[daniels27]

EverBank, Silicon Valley Bank, HSBC US, BBVA to name a‍ few that are defunct or sold now.

There are quite some other banks that don't⁠ have a strict no policy on that matter. However as far as I understand it⁤ it often at the discretion of the manager to open the account or not. See⁣ for example Sun Trust (now Truist) or Chase here:

Also, there obviously are plenty⁢ of banks such as Mercury, which open accounts remotely for foreigners without ITIN.

yeah mercury I think we all know.‍ But the other mentioned I'm uncertain of, but if you say you have opened accounts⁠ with them, some around here may try it.

try Bank DIB

 

[Forester]

They are operating in the U.S.A.?‌ Pretty interesting, if so...

I don't think he means Dubai Islamic Bank as appears when searching for Bank DIB,‍ but instead Digital International Bank, which is an IFE in Puerto Rico.

 

[Forester]

Well, it makes sense; however this largest islamic bank in UAE really uses‍ DIB as a shorthand and it has domain dib.ae 🙂. I am aware they have⁠ branches / subsidies in other islamic countries, even in Europe (Bosnia I guess) ; but⁤ have no clue about the US 🙂

And I am not so well oriented at Puerto⁣ Rico.

Thanks for the hint!

bankdib.com its a Puerto Rico bank. Works with US entities as well as offshore ones.‍ Their service is pretty good, fees are a bit high

 

[JohnLocke]

Not bad suggestion, do they take European companies owned by foreigners, do you know⁠ that ?

 

[Clearsky Network]

yes they do, depending on business activity

 

[crypto7figs]

They rejected me. It's first time a bank has rejected me for personal account. Should‌ I be worried?

 

[burden]

did they gave you any reason for‍ rejection ? you don't need to be worried apply for the next one and see⁠ how it goes.

 

[crypto7figs]

No reason. quite strange! I think I did mention crypto source of funds

 

[cuno]

that's the problem, use crypto friendly EMI's.
