Good to know
Can you guarantee I’ll be approved?
No — and nobody honestly can. Each provider applies its own compliance and risk rules. We make sure your application is complete, accurate and correctly categorised.
Which platforms do you help with?
Common choices for international founders include Wise, Payoneer, Mercury and Stripe. We recommend the best fit for your specific business.
Which providers actually accept non-residents?
Wise, Payoneer, Mercury and similar digital providers onboard remotely and are where most of our clients end up. Traditional U.S. branch banks generally require an in-person visit and often an SSN, so we do not send you down that road.
What documents will I need?
Typically your formation documents, EIN confirmation, Operating Agreement, passport and proof of address. Some providers ask for a website or evidence of business activity, which is worth having ready before you apply.
Why do applications get declined?
Most commonly a vague description of the business, a mismatch between stated activity and the company name, a restricted industry, or a country of residence the provider does not serve. The first three are fixable in preparation, which is the point of the service.
Can I apply to more than one provider?
Yes, and for non-residents it is often sensible. Declines are recorded, though, so it is better to make each application count than to apply everywhere at once.
How long does approval take?
Digital providers often decide within days once the application is complete. Delays almost always trace back to missing documents or unclear answers about what the business does.
