EMI for Colombians

[ivanD20]

Advising a nursing home in Colombia how they can market themselves in USA. Wise is no go. Can receive Usd but not transfer back to local bank accounts. Could ach to brokerage (interactive br) then do swift but complicated setup. Any solutions?

Any reason why an EMI?

Why not just us a bank like ItalBank in Puerto‌ Rico? They come with US ABA code.

Bitcoin with Lightning, maybe with the Strike app? Strike - A more connected⁠ world
Maybe it is available in Colombia as well. It is in US.

Thanks for the suggestion. I was thinking along those lines. I already have a strike‌ account, though I have not used it in about 9 months.

I'll look into Strike‍ and post my findings to this board for others.

Martin, Thanks for the tip. Looks promising. This⁣ would definitely be the way to go if they allow the debit card to be⁢ used in Colombia or allow SWIFT transfers out. I'll contact them tomorrow.

Cool. I follow Strike but sadly it is not available for⁢ me.

Or setup a US LLC for which you can get a bank acc in︀ USA? Your nursing home owns the US LLC and you may or may not remit︁ the funds needed back to Colombia.
