U.S. bank account
Open a U.S. account remotely — compliant payments, done right
A U.S. bank account is the foundation for receiving USD, paying suppliers, and connecting to e-commerce platforms and payment channels. Accounts come in two kinds — personal and business — and whether you can open one, and which path to take, depends on what you already have: an ITIN, EIN, LLC and so on. We help you map your situation, match the right path, assemble the documents and coach you through the application — though final approval is the bank's own decision.
Who it's for
- Cross-border sellers with a U.S. LLC who need a business account to receive payments
- Founders with an ITIN or EIN who want a personal or business USD account
- Sellers whose platform / payment channel requires a linked U.S. bank account
- Non-U.S. tax residents who can't easily travel to the U.S. and prefer an online, remote path
How it works

Assess your situation
We confirm your existing ITIN / EIN / LLC status to decide whether a personal or business account suits you, and which paths are viable.

Match a path
Based on your qualifications and needs, we compare online banks, traditional major banks and in-person U.S. opening on their requirements, timing and use cases, and make a recommendation.

Prepare documents
We assemble the identity, tax-number and company documents each target bank requires, checking format and consistency in advance to reduce the chance of rejection.

FAQ
I'm outside the U.S. and won't travel there — can I open an account remotely?
Some online banks and certain traditional banks support remote/online application paths, but not all banks accept non-in-person opening, and they may require video verification or extra documents. We match a viable remote path to your situation; success is still the bank's decision.
How long does it take, and is opening guaranteed?
Timing varies by bank, path and how complete your documents are — usually a range measured in business days, extended by follow-ups or verification. What we can do is assemble your documents, streamline the process and improve your odds — but we can't guarantee opening; approval is the bank's authority.
Could the account be closed after opening? How do I keep it stable?
Banks have risk controls, and inconsistent documents, unusual usage or long dormancy can all trigger review. We explain compliant-use points after opening to lower your risk of being flagged, but final control of the account rests with the bank.
