About This Video

If you’ve been struggling to open a US LLC bank account (Relay, Mercury, Wise, and similar), this video is my step-by-step walkthrough on how I did it and how you can get approved fast. I explain why having a US business bank account is a big deal: you can receive USD payments from global customers with less friction, avoid unnecessary FX fees and delays, and it becomes much easier to run payments tools like Stripe and PayPal. I also point out how it boosts your credibility with US clients and suppliers, and even helps you activate Shopify Payments as a non‑US citizen. Now, here’s the part most people ignore: Relay and Mercury have a long list of prohibited countries. So even if you already have a US LLC, your nationality or country can block you from getting approved. In this video, I show how using Doola can make the process smoother—especially if your country isn’t on the prohibited list—because they guide you through setup and can help resolve application issues quickly (they even have direct contact with Mercury). I also break down Doola’s plans (Startup, Total Compliance, and Business in a Box) so you can choose what fits your business and move straight into getting your US LLC bank account.
