UK COMPANY 100% CONTROLLED BY A US COMPANY FORMED IN DELAWARE

[Pup]

One of our customer asked us a very hard solution for their business: UK company based in LONDON, 100% controlled by a US company formed in Delaware, bank account in uk (EMI can works), director nominee

The only difficult is the company controlled by an UBO not resident in UK. Any solution ?

What is the difficulty? Anyone can be UBO of a UK company.

Not too much simple, the UK entity Is controlled by an US entity (a single member). The customer wants an account in UK, I think that TW can works. Ah One director Is a nominee 🙂

The only banks that will do it are American banks.

Ask your client to speak to his bank to see if they can open an account in a branch in the UK.

Citi have done in the past.

Yes you are right the branch in UK it's the best option and not too much complex to set up. But the customer ask us a limited controlled from the US entity ....

There are multiple companies and EMIs you can try
Transferwise (UK GBP - EUR IBAN - US ACH)
Payoneer (UK GBP - EUR IBAN - US ACH)
Fire Bank (UK GBP - EUR IBAN)
Intergiro (Swedish multicurrency IBAN)

All of the above have accepted non UK UBO before. I have successfully used Intergiro before to get IBAN for UK LLP controlled by US single member LLC similar to your situation.
