I know a lot of non-US resident like me applying Wyoming LLC to run their business. However, when it comes to business account application, I heard most US banks are not willing to provide business account and credit card to Wyoming LLC, since it hides member's name from public records. (Let's put Neobank like Mercury/Relayfi aside first) So far I do my research and find 2 ways, foreign filing or open a new LLC in other state like Florida and close the Wyoming one. I am wondering if there is any good way to solve this, or maybe Wyoming LLC won't be an issue? Would happy to hear anyone who has experience in this.

Hi everyone — asking for a friend who is a non-U.S. person with no SSN or ITIN. Is there any practical way to open a personal checking account at a U.S. brick-and-mortar bank that is unconditionally free? My friend visits the U.S. once or twice a year for a week or two and wants the account mainly for local expenses. Most banks we’ve checked charge monthly fees unless you meet waiver conditions like minimum balance, direct deposits, age requirements, or regular activity, which does not fit this travel pattern. The only close option I found is BMO Smart Advantage Checking, but BMO branches are limited to certain states, mostly California, Illinois, Wisconsin, Colorado, and Arizona — not New York or surrounding states. Any better ideas or personal experiences from nonresidents without an SSN/ITIN? Thanks!

Hi, I have a question. I was expected for Call with your team today at 3:30 PM 20 April Eastern time and Canada as I am in NY. However, my fault is that i did not understand the time zone correctly and I missed it at 3:30 AM UTC+3. This I saw later in my mail reminder. Does it mean i can never contact with your team? The time info was really confusing for me. I am so sorry for that.
