(1) In theory - any bank could set this up for you. The larger banks, Wells, B of A, etc are more receptive - but are more conservative in their underwriting (need strong bus track record, financials, etc). I have seen some smaller banks such as BankNorth out East do these as well as super regionals like US Bank.
(2) They don't look into the issue of what is run through the system so long as it conforms to guidelines, etc
(3) US Bank = US ACH. Offshore banks can do Direct Debit (ACH) with consumers in other countries, i.e. the EU but depending on the country, bank regs may require that you get a signed "mandate" from consumer before debiting account. Offshore banks can't process US consumer accounts
