Can anyone give some advice on opening a US business account for a US (Wyoming) registered LLC as a non resident, I am British.

I need an actual bank not an EMI as I need to receive and issue LCs, but am I right in assuming it will be next to impossible to open the account without being there in person? And exactly what would I need, just ID, article of incorporation and an EIN number?

Mercury is the clearest shot, also would try Novo, Bluevine and even Brex but now they are requiring higher balances

They accept as long as your company has an EIN, which foreign owned LLCs can have with no problem. If any of the banks deny is their choice and not really a prohibition, if you are really keen on a certain bank that is resisting you can hire a US based director from your Registered Agent (they usually are very cheap) and he/ she will be able to open the account signing on behalf of the LLC.

Did anyone reached out to them in order to get a clear answer to if they accept foreigners or not?
