I didn't apply for Revolut Business, because I didn't have the option to select USA in their list of countries. After most of what I've read online, I realized Revolut is easy to get approved on (they approved my Revolut Pro account with a US LLC) but when you try to receive money, they freeze your funds. Thankfully I contacted them and made sure it was OK to have a US︀ LLC linked to the Revolut Pro account, and they instantly closed it. Good, because I︁ don't want to deal with a bank that unorganized.
The type of business is software︂ consulting, but I'm sure they'll approve anything. The problems will come when you receive money.︃

Cheers for the list. I've︈ found the personal account from Wise to be a life-saver sometimes, still has its problems︉ though so I'll definitely also try Airwallex if I open a U.S. LLC
I have two questions regarding Mercury.
(Q1) Did you gave them a physical address within the U.S.?
According to Mercury's F.A.Q. (Frequently Asked Questions | Mercury):
"Customers must have some type of existing or planned operations in the U.S. and a U.S. or international address for their principal place of business. This can be a residential address, but may not be a registered agent, PO box, or UPS box address."
(Q2) Did Mercury ask for your private residential address and what kind of proof did they ask for? I know that some banks ask for utility︀ bills, but I don't know if they require them to be on your name.

First off, I want to praise the original poster; this is an outstanding list they've put together, and I must admit it makes it somewhat easier to find a US-based neobank.
Mercury stands out as the best in neobanking for my US LLC, where I currently have a small office and 3 employees handling some administrative tasks for my entire setup.

Managed to open for many Israeli citizens, as far as i know they have no problem with EU as well.

I have opened half a dozen Mercury and Relay accounts easily for US companies for non-US owners with addresses outside US in three different industries. The difficulty factor was about the same (quite easy). Between the two, I prefer Relay, though their support can be very slow to respond. I found the response time improves after you have an approved account, however I never tracked response times so this statistic could just be my imagination.
