What KYC documents do I need to open a U.S. bank account for my foreign-owned LLC?
I am a Brazilian citizen who just formed an LLC in Florida. I have my EIN from the IRS and my Articles of Organization from the state. I tried to open a business bank account at Chase but they asked me for a ton of documents I was not expecting. They wanted my passport, a utility bill from Brazil, proof of my address in the U.S. (I do not have one), and something called a 'certificate of good standing.' They also asked about the nature of my business and expected transaction volumes. Is this normal? It felt like an interrogation. What documents should I have ready so the next bank does not reject me?
