Slash
BankVertical banking for online businesses — friendly to web3, ecommerce, agencies.
Official siteApplyRight field notes
Business banking takes US entities (LLC/LP/C/S) and accepts non-US owners — owners may live abroad, and the operating address just proves your real place of business (Slash support confirms it can be overseas). Web3/crypto-friendly, unlike Mercury. ~500 virtual cards for heavy card-splitting. Foreign companies with no US entity use its separate Global USD account.
