Need advice on sending checks from a US bank account! - GoFuckYourself.com

Hi all,

Our company needs to send out checks (1000+) to clients worldwide weekly. We're based in The Netherlands. The companies that send out checks are available, but we need a US bank account to use their service. So far, all US banks turned us down for being foreigners. The Patriot Act I guess?

Does anyone know a service/solution/bank that can help us?

Many thanks!

You might have to register a company in the US before they'll give you a bank account.

I'm not too sure on that.

True, I've contacted Valis International for that. I was hoping to find a service that didn't need a US company.

Forget it. Theres no US bank thats gonna open an account for you. Like you said PA. Register a DE company and go from there. And if you have to send 1000+ checks, get someone who knows stuff re DE companies first

Find out if you bank in the Netherlands has a US associate.

My UK bank opened an account for me with their US division, in NY back in 2000 ...

If you are with one of the few international money center banks it can be done, but it doesn't sound like you are.

Best best is to establish a US based division of your company. But keep in mind there are tax liabilities associated with that.
