How to Open a US Bank Account from Egypt

Egyptian residents with a US LLC can open a business bank account at Mercury Bank, Relay, or Wise Business — all of which accept non-US residents. The process requires your EIN (for the LLC) and your ITIN (for the foreign owner).

ITINPlus handles both the ITIN application ($99) and EIN formation ($50 add-on). Once you have both, Mercury Bank typically approves accounts within 1–3 business days — entirely online.
