Rai Rai / US Access / US Business Banking
US Business Bank Account for Canadian Founders (No SSN)
After forming the LLC, Canadian founders usually stall on US banking — banks ask for an SSN or a branch visit. Rai Rai opens the path to a US business bank account for non-resident Canadians using your EIN and documents, gets you ready to accept payments via Stripe and PayPal, and sets up toward business cards. Our team runs it, so it's fast and repeatable.

Can I do this from Canada without traveling to the US?
Yes. Rai Rai focuses on the path that lets non-resident founders in Canada complete us business banking remotely.
Can I get a US business bank account without an SSN?
Yes. We focus on the path that gets non-resident founders a US business account using your EIN and company documents, without a US Social Security Number.
Which US banks work for non-residents?
Fintech-style business banks like Mercury and Relay are the usual fit — they accept your EIN, formation documents, and passport instead of an SSN and onboard remotely. Wise Business is useful for multi-currency, though it isn't a full US bank account. We match you to what fits your country and business.
Can I open the account without visiting the US?
In most cases yes — fully remotely, often within 1–5 business days, with the documents and identity verification banks expect from a foreign-owned US company.
Can I get a US business credit card as a non-resident?
We help you build toward US business debit and credit card access as your company establishes a profile — it's part of the banking setup, not an afterthought.
Will I be able to accept payments?
Yes — getting payment-processor ready (Stripe, PayPal, and similar) is part of the setup so your company can actually collect revenue.
How does Rai Rai work — is it a SaaS tool?
No. We're an execution partner. We own the operational path from start to a live result and stay involved as your setup evolves.
