I applied more than 20 times and was always rejected without giving any reason. I have asked many friends who have passed, but their submitted materials were not as prepared as mine. However, they passed, but mine failed, and they did not give me the reasons. I asked a friend to help me read it. I have all the information prepared. What should I do?
I understand how frustrating that experience can be. While we don’t have any control over Mercury’s terms or decision-making process, I’d recommend reaching out to their support team directly for more clarity on your application.
9:30 this is a big deal most people want to have LLC just to accept payments online and they don't do any us operations, is there any solution for this?
That's a great point! If you're looking to set up an LLC mainly for accepting payments online without having any U.S. operations, there are definitely solutions available. One option is forming a U.S. LLC, which allows you to open a business bank account, like with Mercury, and start accepting payments. Even if you're not physically in the U.S., many platforms support international entrepreneurs, so you don't need a local presence to operate your business smoothly. It's important to ensure compliance with U.S. tax laws, but the process can be straightforward with the right guidance.

Hey @doola can you elaborate on "business address that you can verify", how do you verify an address? If a non-resident is using a US relative's address, how can they verify, if there's no lease agreement, no utility bill ?? or how does Mercury's KYC team verify an address?
Great question! Mercury typically verifies an address using documents like a utility bill, lease agreement, or official correspondence tied to the address. If you're a non-resident using a relative's U.S. address without these documents, it might not meet Mercury's KYC requirements. In such cases, doola can help you secure a verified business address that works for opening a Mercury account.
doola offers assistance in opening a business bank account as part of its business formation services, with pricing depending on the specific package or add-ons you choose.

I've been told that Virtual Post and OpenPhone don't always work, so what's the alternative if I am a non U.S citizen trying to get payed online from e-commerce? Can Doola garantee a U.S business bank account + EIN if I pay for them? It would hurt my soul to pay couple hundred and get no results.
Getting paid online as a non-U.S. citizen often requires a U.S. business bank account and EIN. doola helps with both, but while doola guarantees assistance in obtaining an EIN, the final decision on a U.S. bank account depends on the bank's verification process. To improve success rates, ensure you provide valid proof of address (not virtual) and proper business details. doola partners with banking solutions like Mercury and Relay, which are known to work well for international founders. While results can't be 100% guaranteed, doola's services significantly increase your chances of a smooth setup.
Hello. I opened single member llc in US with Northwest. What option should i select in question about US operations? That i have operations or something else?
If you’re a single-member LLC in the U.S. with no physical location or operations other than managing your business remotely (e.g., online services or consulting), you should generally select “I do not have U.S. operations” for questions about U.S. operations on platforms like Mercury. This option aligns with the fact that you are managing your LLC remotely and not conducting business from a specific U.S. location. However, if you have a physical presence, employees, or significant activities in the U.S., you should choose “I have U.S. operations” to reflect that accurately. For personalized guidance, it's best to consult with your LLC service provider (Northwest) or a legal/tax professional to ensure compliance with your LLC’s setup and banking requirements.
are USD transfare are really free? do they mean by that every transfare in USD is free or every transfare inside the USA is free? so could my business which is in the Germany send USD to my european personal bank account which allows me to recive USD?
For the individual who are forming LLC from outside US, will doola also provide the US based physical address and phone number of the LLC that might be used to sign up for mercury account?
Hey there. We do provide the Registered Agent's address ≠ physical address. The RA address is simply used for receiving mail. When registering for a Mercury acc, you need to provide the company's legal address (this is the RA's) and a physical address (where business activities are mainly conducted from and can be an international address). If you insist on having a US physical address, we recommend Virtual Post Mail. For a phone number you can use OpenPhone.

@@doolaHQ Thank you for your clarification. By the way, after I form a LLC for the first year what is the renewal process of doola for the second year. Do I have to take the entire starter package or could I just opt for necessary services like RA and State filing?
Thank you for sharing your experience! Mercury Bank has specific requirements for account approval, which can sometimes lead to rejections, especially for non-US residents or business structures that may not fully meet their criteria. If you're a Belgian citizen with an LLC in Texas, it's worth double-checking that all your documents, including your EIN, operating agreement, and proof of your business activity, are up to date. Additionally, you could try reaching out to Mercury support for more clarification on why your application was denied. Some users have had success by addressing any gaps or providing additional information. Hope this helps, and good luck!
Doola doesn’t sell Mercury Bank accounts, but we can help you set up a U.S. business, which is often required to open one. Once your LLC or corporation is established, you can apply directly through Mercury’s website. They specialize in banking for startups and small businesses, offering a smooth online experience. Make sure to check the video for guidance, but feel free to clarify if you have specific questions about the process.
@@MKKing52 Mercury Bank allows international transfers, including sending money to Bangladesh, but you'll need to ensure compliance with both U.S. and Bangladeshi regulations. Check Mercury's transfer features for details on fees, supported currencies, and processing times.
Thank you. I’m collaborating with a law firm on US for our company, and actually make big payments for their services. Does that count as US operations? Or do I need to have contractors or other things to qualify for US activity? I don’t hire on US as it’s expensive but if needed I may need to hire someone from US to keep the account open.
Hey there, while significant payments to a U.S. law firm can count as part of your U.S. operations, employing contractors or representatives may further solidify your presence and compliance within the market. If you foresee needing to hire locally to maintain your account or meet regulatory requirements, it would be prudent to consider that option seriously.

Hey there, for the transfer limits: Payoneer has a maximum transfer limit of $15,000 per transaction and allows for up to 30 withdrawals daily, with a limit of $5,000 per day. For SWIFT transfers, fees can vary, and processing may take several days. Mercury, on the other hand, offers free international wire transfers but charges a 1% foreign exchange fee. It's best to contact customer service for each company to get the most accurate and tailored information regarding your specific needs. 💛
@@erdemalidincer2820 Sorry to hear about the issues with your Mercury account! It sounds frustrating, especially after multiple applications. You might want to reach out to Mercury support directly to understand why the applications are being declined. In the meantime, Payoneer can still be a good alternative for transfers, and hopefully, you can get your Mercury account sorted soon.
