Re:Ask HN: Opening a bank account in the US remotely by ajussis on Monday February 13, 2012 @08:21PM (#3588172)
Ok. So I got an answer from one of the law firms I contacted.

They charge $2,500 dollars to:

- Delaware Corp. - 1 yr. registered agent - 1 yr. virtual office - EIN for company - all paperwork - checking account with Visa card

Ok, $2,500.00... not sure if this is a reasonable price ticket.

I now found out that I do can get an "International EIN" through services such as Incorporate / Bizfilings along with the business formation process.

After all legal paperwork the costs are at least $1,000.00 less than the first proposal of the lawyer.

But without the business bank account up and running.

So the question remains but with more hope in the air:

With an appropriate business and (International) EIN code, can I open a business bank account online to any bank?

I already contacted a few banks but haven't heard back yet...
