How do I open a US business bank account?

Every U.S. bank has different requirements for opening a business bank account. Unfortunately, international customers, due to one of the most common and inflexible requirements, have to appear in person at the selected bank branch to open a business bank account.

While some international business owners are able to travel to the United States to open an account, this can cause problems for others. Many people ask a friend or family member who lives in the United States to open a bank account on behalf of the company.

Other business owners appoint a manager (LLC) or director who already resides in the United States as the person authorized to open and manage a business bank account. Some business owners have successfully found a U.S. bank account near them and are asking the branch to make it easier to open an account.

Once you’ve found the bank of your choice, it’s usually a good idea to call ahead to see what it takes to open an account, as the requirements vary from bank to bank.

The following are examples of what banks may ask for when opening a business bank account for a company or LLC:

Memorandum of Association / Memorandum of Association
Federal Tax Identification Number (EIN)
Photo ID (such as a valid passport)
Address owners
Bank resolution document
LLC operating agreement
