    BTW Ocean Bank (www.oceanbank.com) confirmed they open accounts remotely for international clients. As they're FDIC insured (largest independent bank in Florida) this could be a great option.
    Hope this was useful!

      You should put a link to the Ocean Bank, I just googled and the first result is a scam.

      Wrong information. This is the error i get:
      In order to qualify to open an online account you must:
      Be a U.S. citizen or resident and reside in the U.S.
      Have a valid SSN
      Be 18 years or older and
      Have a valid U.S. ID

    You haven't come across many recent updates about Mercury bank. However, the new requirements concerning proof of residential address and the need for non-US residents to sign a W9 form seem to suggest that operating a single-person LLC might no longer be feasible. These changes potentially pose challenges for non-US residents seeking to use Mercury bank's services.

We can't receive funds nor make payments and its affecting our business. We have tried to explain our situation but nothing seems to help at the moment. The organization we use for virtual address isn't helping either
      Any suggestions on how resolve this will help us a lot.

    FDIC doesn't mean your money will be instantly reimbursed. There are multiple cases of banks going under and small creditors being hung and dry. And don't forget the Yotta debacle. Also, Relay for instance isn't insured it is Thread Bank that is their backbone.
