How can I open a business bank account in us for LLC? I am from India. I want to open remotely, is it possible? I can travel to the USA, if it’s impossible to open physically.
Hi Arya,
Thank you for your comment.
You must meet basic eligibility requirements to open a US-based business account:
-Valid Social Security or tax identification number
-Valid state-issued ID
-Valid US address
-Sole proprietor, if applying online
Looks like you need to ensure you have the above to open a business bank account. You can also review some tips and guides to open a business bank account.

I need to open a checking account in U.S.
I am a foreig citizen, so I don’t have a Social Security Number.
What can I do?
Hi there,
Thanks for leaving a question on Finder.
If you relocated to the US to work or study, it is possible for you to open a US bank account. As a new arrival to the US, you may find it more difficult to meet the requirements of a bank. You’ll typically need to provide a government-issued ID and a Social Security number as well as proof of your creditworthiness.
Online banking is an option, but current laws in place to protect against money laundering could prevent you from successfully opening an account. You may find better results by talking directly with a client representative at a bank’s physical branch. You will need to confirm the requirements for the bank you’re interested in as well as gather the documentation necessary. Also, ask about maintenance fees so that you can plan ahead.
Cheers,
Joel

I need help with getting me bank account setup
Hi Stephanie!
Thanks for getting in touch!
To open a bank account, you can do this online (by visiting the website of the bank) or you can go directly to the bank’s offie and physically open an account there. May I ask for which bank account this is?
Looking forward to your reply!
Nikki
