Use Friend's Home Address
Hey all, I've got a friend who's willing to let me use his home address to help me set up my bank accounts. My LLC was formed in Wyoming and he's in Texas. I wanted to ask: • Is there any potential risk to him for letting me use his address? • Is it possible to use his address even though it's from Texas? Thanks in advance!

@Sable Rivers It is true that, after you open a bank and had your proof of address verified by the bank, that you can change your address. However, in my opinion, this is a terrible idea. The reason why, is because you will want to open a second bank account and you will want to get approved for USA credit cards, and even opening an additional mailbox addresses requires a proof of address. And, you can also expect that the bank and the credit card company will often need to mail you your credit cards and debit cards to the address that they have on file for you. I just recently secured a Residential Proof of Address, and I plan on keeping this address for as long as humanly possible.
When a Fin Tech Denies us a Bank Account – Do we Try Back with them?
Hi friends, I just received an Email-Reply-Denial message from a popular Fin Tech. Because employees of this Fin Tech may actually read my post here, I do not want to post their name, but our Great friend James Baker has mentioned them in the past on 1 or more of his videos. (It’s not Mercury, Relayfi, Wise, Payoneer) Anyway, in their Email-Reply-Denial message they sent me, they blatantly lied to me below. "Unfortunately, we were unable to verify your ownership of the business." I’m 100% positive that this has absolutely nothing to do with the real reason that they declined me for a bank account. My business is a normally accepted business by banks, and there is no fraud or AML or unpaid debt issues in my past. My website that I shared with the FinTech was clear, honest and normal looking. I accept that banks have ZERO obligation to tell us the True reason that they denied us a bank account. I’m here asking for some advice please: I’m wanting to know if anyone thinks I should “try again by replying back” with this unnamed FinTech? Since I believe they have made up a Blatant False claim why they rejected me, is there really anything that I can do or say in an email to change their mind. Has anyone had a similar experience where they were able to reply back to a FinTech, and get them to reconsider?

@James Baker So, I looked up the Fintech's number and called them. The customer support rep asked me several questions to verify that I was who I claim to be. Then he confirmed that I was rejected. I asked him several questions but all of his responses lead me to clearly understand that they are not going to change their mind and they are NEVER going to tell me the real reason why I was rejected. Trust me, I tried as hard as I could to pull the truth out of the support agent, but my belief is that he probably did not even know the real reason because it would not be shared with him. I did use an anonymous corporation. Anyway, I'll just take a guess why I was rejected and try to improve on my situation when I head to the next Fintech. Hey, thanks James Baker for running this group and doing what you do.

@Sable Rivers I like this suggestion. Thank you. I have learned in the last few months that Stripe is continually offering more banking services every year. My friend just got a $40K loan with them and he's thrilled.
Advice needed regarding my Proof-of-Address challenge:
Hi friends, Recently, I have located a person from North Carolina (not a friend or family member) who is willing to allow me to use their home address so that I can receive mail and get a Utility bill in my name at their address. North Carolina is 14 hours drive south of the Canadian Border and I really do not want to visit this state because it’s cost and time prohibitive for me. (It’s very difficult to get an ongoing USA Utility bill in your name if you don’t have an American friend or family member.) My plan was to ultimately open 2 Personal Bank Accounts and 2 or 3 Business Bank Accounts in Niagara Falls NY which is just a 2 hour drive for me. I live in Toronto. My concern is that I could walk into any of the Big USA banks branches in Niagara Falls NY and when the bank employee looks at my proof of address and notices I claim to live in North Carolina …. ….is that this bank employee is going to kick me out of her branch and insist that I go visit a BOA branch that is in North Carolina? Based on my needs of wanting to open "multiple bank accounts," am I crazy for even considering using a person’s North Carolina address when I’m never really wanting to visit North Carolina? And, am I constantly going to be fighting an uphill battle with bank employees at Niagara Falls NY banks when they ask me why I just don’t open a Personal-or-Business bank account in the State (North Carolina) that my paperwork says in live in? Or, will Niagara Falls NY bank employees not be to concerned as long as all my other paperwork looks good?

Amex Global Transfer
Hello Members ! I have been trying to get Amex Gold through Global Transfer programm. I am Living in Germany and have been Using Amex Platinum since 4 Years. Anyone here as US-Non-Resident successfully got american Amex Gold card? The option i know (theoretically): Buy an US-Address (like from anytime mailbox) > Buy US-Phone Number (like from Tello) and use the invoice mentioning the Address and then apply for Amex. Has anyone got through this process sucessfully?

I would also like to get approved for a USA AMEX and I believe that AMEX would approve me since I have a Canadian AMEX for many years in good standing. (I also have an ITIN.) My Concern is that still do not have a Utility bill attached to a USA residential address where I can claim that I live at in the States. So my understanding is that it is pointless for me to apply for the USA AMEX until I have a USA Utility bill. I could be totally wrong about this, and I’m happy to hear others strategies and feedback.
Are the NEO Banks banning us for Life? Or just banning our LLC?
Hey friends, Mercury closed my account back in 2023. I would consider going back to them under a different LLC. Has anyone heard of a person going back to Mercury, or Relayfi or Bluevine and getting approved for a totally different LLC? Or, do we have concrete “proof” that these Neo Banks are in fact banning the actual person, rather than just their LLC?
