Open a U.S. Business Bank Account and Get a Credit Card as a Non-Resident
Non-resident entrepreneurs can now open a verified U.S. business bank account and obtain a business credit card without visiting the United States. Our process is 100% remote, compliant with banking regulations, and includes LLC formation, EIN registration, KYC documentation, and credit card onboarding through regulated partners.
U.S. banking remains the gold standard for global trade, e-commerce, and financial credibility. Having a U.S. business account allows you to receive payments in dollars, connect with American clients and platforms, and manage funds efficiently. Adding a U.S. business credit card extends that advantage, providing short-term liquidity, higher limits, and access to world-class reward programs.
Why Open a U.S. Business Bank Account as a Non-Resident
Access the U.S. financial system
A U.S. account gives your company credibility and access to ACH payments, merchant services, and fintech platforms that only accept U.S. bank routing numbers.
Reduce friction and costs
Avoid SWIFT delays and high international transfer fees. With a U.S. account, clients can pay you domestically, often within hours.
Build a U.S. credit footprint
A verifiable credit history in the United States strengthens trust with suppliers, lenders, and online payment processors.
Benefits of a U.S. Business Credit Card
Higher limits and longer terms
U.S. business cards often provide higher limits and 30-60 days of interest-free payment cycles, improving short-term liquidity and working capital management.
Reward programs that deliver value
Earn travel miles, cashback, or purchase protection benefits unavailable in most other markets. These rewards directly reduce business costs.
Separation of business and personal credit
Business cards help keep your accounting clean and protect your personal credit while building the company’s independent financial profile.

What Is a Nominee Director?
A nominee director is an appointed professional who represents the company within a specific jurisdiction for regulatory or administrative purposes. The nominee’s role is not to control or own the company but to meet legal requirements such as having a resident director or authorized representative. This arrangement allows non-residents to operate a U.S. business while remaining compliant with corporate laws and banking KYC standards.
In our structures, the nominee director acts under a formal agreement that limits their authority strictly to administrative functions. You remain the ultimate beneficial owner and retain full control of your company’s decisions, finances, and operations. The nominee serves as your local point of contact for banks, auditors, and regulatory agencies when required.
