Non-US Resident Seeking Guidance on Securing US Banking for My Wyoming LLC
Hi everyone, I hope youโre all doing well! Iโm reaching out for guidance and advice on a challenge Iโm currently facing with setting up a US business banking account for my Wyoming LLC as a non-US resident. Background: - Iโve formed a Wyoming LLC through Doola and opted for their "Total Compliance Max" plan, which has been a great experience. Iโve also successfully obtained my EIN and set up my LLC with a registered agent address provided by Doola. - My business specializes in trading prop firm capital (Topstep, FTMO, etc.) and providing consulting services in technical analysis, risk management, and market insights. - I currently reside in Jordan and do not have any physical presence in the US. Unfortunately, Jordanian banks do not recognize trading payouts as legitimate income, making local banking solutions impossible for my business. The Problem: - Iโve applied to Mercury twice with Doolaโs assistance, but both applications were denied. - I successfully set up a Wise account and received a payout, but Iโve been notified that my USD account will be closed unless I provide a verifiable US address by February 2nd. - While Iโm considering setting up a UAE company to receive payments as a backup, my ultimate goal is to fully establish my US LLC and secure US business banking to operate as an independent, functional business. What Iโm Looking For: - US Banking Solutions for Non-US Residents: 1. How can I successfully open a US business banking account without visiting the US? 2. Are there strategies, tools, or specific services that have worked for others in my situation? - Address Challenges: 1. Given Wiseโs address requirements and Mercury's rejections, how can I secure a verifiable US address for my LLC? 2. Iโve explored services like VPM TruLease but I'm unsure if itโs the best option. - Best Practices for Applications: 1. What steps can I take to improve my banking applications as a non-resident? (E.g., ITIN, custom utility bills, etc.) 2. If anyone here has successfully navigated this process, Iโd love to hear your story.
