I’ve been a non US resident-customer for the past 10 years. Worked fine!
Just got a mail 2 days ago that they will be closing all accounts without a permanent US address, so no more WF accounts without…
Too bad, have to look for a new option

I am considering creating an LLC in Wyoming (the business will be completely online). I am trying to figure out what is the best banking solution for me. As a non-resident and non-citizen, I would have to get ITIN, FEIN, etc. I am able to do all of that online but banking is a problem.

Can I use a Wise account? Will it count as a legitimate, full-fledged U.S. business account (for business and tax purposes) without me needing to visit physically?

Bank of America is much harder nowadays.

You have to call to the branch and ask to that exact branch (maybe you will need to call a few ones) what they require. Then, you book an appointment at that specific branch and then open it. Do not call to any generic branch number. Call to a specific branch.

Opening an account remotely at Wise is the best option.
