Unfortunately, the current laws and regulations of the US banking sector does not allow a non-resident of the US to set up a business account in the country. Hence, it is necessary to provide a physical entity in the US who would be visiting the bank to set up your personal or business bank account. That is why you will be required to add us in your list of Members or directors with 0% profit interest to be present there while opening the bank account.
Our payment methods include wire transfer, Paypal, Debit or Credit Card.
The account opening with Veteran Visual is a guaranteed process. However, if you have already applied in any of the US banks previously and faced rejection, the time duration will be extended to prepare a proper resolution between your business and the bank.
Banks in the US are more prone to provide their services to US nationals and US residents. Hence, having a physical presence in the bank to set up the business account makes it easier for us to help you in this regard.
The requirement of documents vary as per your country of residence and business setup. Kindly email us at info@veteranvisual.com for further information.
