No U.S. citizenship required. Foreign founders can legally form a U.S. company, get an EIN, open a business bank account, and operate in the U.S. market.
But here's the catch — banks aren't checking your passport stamp. They're checking:
✅ Who owns the business
✅ Where your funds come from
✅ What your company actually does
✅ Your expected transaction activity
Before you apply, make sure you have:
✓ Company formation documents
✓ EIN from the IRS
✓ Valid passport or ID
✓ Proof of address
✓ Clear ownership records
Most rejections aren't about nationality — they're about incomplete documentation, unclear business activity, high-risk industries, or messy ownership structures.
The founders who succeed aren't always the biggest. They're the most prepared.
At Filing Express, we help international entrepreneurs form U.S. companies, obtain EINs, prepare for banking, and stay compliant — every step of the way.
