Which US banks will open your LLC's account?

A foreigner can own a US LLC and open a US business account without an SSN — but every bank and payment company publishes its own list of countries it won't serve, and some refuse whole industries or states.

Pick your details and see, provider by provider, who takes you and why not. Every rule comes from the provider's own page; the final decision is always theirs.

A second owner with 25% or more?

Questions

For an LLC, yes: online banks such as Mercury, Relay or Airwallex open business accounts for foreign owners without an SSN or a visit — if your country isn't on their exclusion list. A personal US account without US residency is much harder.

A formed US LLC (Articles of Organization), its EIN, the owners' passports and proof of address, and a short description of the business. Some providers also ask for a US address or a website.

Look at the ❔ providers — they publish no country list and decide per application — and at payment companies that pay out to a local account. Paid options (Wise, Revolut) have their own lists.

Rarely, but it does: Wise doesn't give USD details to Nevada LLCs, and WorldFirst/Zyla doesn't work with Nevada or New York companies.

Each list was copied from the provider's own page; the date and link are kept for every rule. Banks change their lists — the provider's page wins.
