Hello,

My business plan has hit a wall I now realise that I'm going to need a bank account in the US that can accept ACH transfers. However I'm not American, I've never been there and I don't have any residence there.

I need a US account for my UK Ltd but I haven't a clue where to start. Some banks here offer dollar accounts but the fees for transfers are the same as standard sterling accounts.

I'm thinking either I incorporate a subsidiary in the US and have that hold the account or I travel over there and try to open one direct with my UK Ltd. The former seems easier than the latter.

Has anybody ever done this?
