International banking for digital businesses

We design the complete banking operation, prioritise Relay, Revolut Business and Slash by profile, and support each application through direct contact and professional follow-up.

Banking must be part of the structure

Each layer has a distinct role. The main account, multi-currency operations, payment collection and treasury must reflect the same activity, ownership and documentation.

Ownership, EIN, activity, source of funds, contracts and expected flows aligned before any application begins.

  • Operating account: A primary base for income, payments, suppliers and daily business reconciliation.
  • International collections: Payment processors and receiving accounts aligned with the website, invoices and commercial model.
  • Currencies and records: USD and EUR flows with clear references, consistent records and supporting evidence.
  • Treasury and investment: A clear separation between working capital, reserves and funds allocated to investment or growth.
  • Controls and permissions: Cards, limits, signers and access rights defined around each person's actual role.
  • Continuity: A secondary layer designed to reduce dependency and preserve operating capacity.

An account is not a banking strategy

The right architecture depends on how you collect revenue, whom you pay, which currencies you use and what each institution needs to understand about the business.

  • A clear business activity: The business description, website, contracts and invoices should explain precisely what you do and how revenue is generated.
  • Consistent payment flows: Countries, customers, suppliers, amounts and transaction frequency must match the profile presented during onboarding.
  • Providers selected by function: We prioritise Relay, Revolut Business and Slash when they fit the profile, adding Wise Business or Mercury when either has a defined role in the architecture.
  • A prepared file: We organise corporate and personal records before compliance asks for them, reducing avoidable contradictions and delays.

How we build the banking operation

The process starts by understanding the business and ends with a documented setup the team can use and maintain.

  1. 1. Diagnosis: We review residency, activity, LLC, customers, countries, currencies, expected volume and card or investment requirements.
  2. 2. Design: We define the main account, complementary layers, payment processors, signers, permissions and continuity plan.
  3. 3. Banking file: We prepare KYC/KYB information, company records, activity narrative, source of funds and commercial evidence.
  4. 4. Direct contact and follow-up: We maintain direct contact with priority providers, coordinate their requests and follow the application through review and, once eligibility is confirmed, through approval and activation. The provider retains the final decision.
  5. 5. Activation: We organise access, limits, payment references and reconciliation so operations begin with control.
  6. 6. Follow-up: We review changes in activity, ownership, volumes or providers so the banking structure remains coherent.

What supports a strong banking file

File quality matters as much as institution selection. We prepare the information so the business can be understood from the first review.

  • Articles of Organization and Operating Agreement
  • EIN and ownership structure
  • Identity and address evidence for members and signers
  • Website, contracts, invoices and service description
  • Source of funds and estimated volume
  • Customer, supplier and beneficiary countries
  • Expected use of accounts, cards and payment processors
  • Additional evidence requested during KYC/KYB

Exentax prioritises Relay, Revolut Business and Slash when they fit the profile, prepares the file and maintains direct contact throughout review. Once eligibility is confirmed, we follow the process through approval and activation; the provider always retains the final decision.

International banking questions

Clear answers on business accounts, LLC structures, currencies, documentation and cross-border operations.

Can I open a business account for my LLC without travelling to the United States?

Many institutions allow remote onboarding when the country, activity, ownership and documentation fit. We review the profile and prepare the file before the application begins.

Do I need an ITIN for business banking?

Not always. Some institutions can work with an EIN, passport and company records, while others request additional information depending on the profile and product. We determine this before choosing the route.

Can the same structure operate in USD and EUR?

Yes. The setup can combine accounts and providers specialised in USD and EUR, provided that payment flows, invoices and reconciliation are properly documented.

Which institutions does Exentax work with?

We prioritise Relay, Revolut Business and Slash for clients whose country, activity and documentation fit. Wise Business and Mercury can complete the structure where they serve a defined role. We maintain direct contact and follow the file without replacing each provider's final decision.

Should I have more than one account?

A secondary layer can improve continuity, functional separation and treasury control. Duplication without a purpose creates noise, so we define the exact role of each account.

Does Exentax prepare compliance responses?

Yes. We organise the information, support KYC/KYB requests and maintain traceability for documents and communications in the file.

Can I connect the account to payment processors and sales platforms?

Yes, when the entity, EIN, website, commercial policies, invoices and KYC/KYB profile are consistent. We design that connection as part of the complete operation.
