• EIN (Federal Employer Identification Number) confirmation letter: This is issued by the Internal Revenue Service and is required for tax reporting purposes.
• An operating agreement: This is a document showing the arrangement among the members of the company outlining the rights of ownership and how the company will be managed.
• A US business address accompanied by a phone or utility bill showing proof of address. In some cases, the EIN can be used as a proof of address.
• A Passport copy along with a secondary form of ID of all signers on the new account.
• A Letter of Good Standing from any existing bank for all signers on the new account.

• Majority of banks will require you to visit a local branch and present relevant identification when opening a new bank account.
• Some specialist banks and agencies may be able to assist you in opening a US bank account from abroad. These agencies operate differently in each state, so it is essential to find an appropriate agency in the state that you want to incorporate a business.
• It is difficult to open a bank account online as most banks require you to present all the documents in person. Certain specialist banks can allow you to open a bank online, but they may not have as many resources and offers as the major banking institutions in America. Most banks, however, will allow you to start the application process online but will require you to make an appointment to submit your documents.
