US account for US LLC as non resident

[ecky]

Can anyone give some advice on opening a US business account for a US (Wyoming) registered LLC as a non resident, I am British.

I need an actual bank not an EMI as I need to receive and issue LCs, but am I right in assuming it will be next to impossible to open the account without being there in person? And exactly what would I need, just ID, article of incorporation and an EIN number?

You can try a Puerto Rico bank like Elite International. See requirements on their site.‌

Mercury is the clearest shot, also would try Novo,⁢ Bluevine and even Brex but now they are requiring higher balances

Do these kind‍ of institutes accept LCs?

 

[Rick Ross 305]

Don't know

do you know if they accept foreigners for‍ business account?

 

[Rick Ross 305]

They accept as long as your company has an EIN, which foreign owned LLCs can‌ have with no problem. If any of the banks deny is their choice and not‍ really a prohibition, if you are really keen on a certain bank that is resisting⁠ you can hire a US based director from your Registered Agent (they usually are very⁤ cheap) and he/ she will be able to open the account signing on behalf of⁣ the LLC.

They do.
