Hi friends of offshorecorptalk,

I'm writing to you today to ask for your help. I have an LLC (I'm a foreign owner) registered in New Mexico since 2022, processing payments with Stripe through my payment gateway without any issues.

When I started this business, I was able to open a Relay and Mercury account, but last year, my Mercury account was closed, and then my Relay account (on different dates).

Mercury proceeded to send me an ACH transfer of my remaining balance without problems, but Relay issued two checks to my registered address, which I was able to bring to my country. I've tried to cash them at different local financial institutions, even showing documentation to prove that I'm the sole owner, but I haven't been successful. They won't let me cash the money or deposit it because it's a foreign company.

Is there any solution to cash these checks? I have them physically in my possession, unable to cash them. I have a virtual account for my company where I could receive them via ACH, but they don't accept checks.

I thought about creating a US business PayPal account, but I believe they require an ITIN, and I only have my company's EIN.

If anyone has information or offers a similar service, I'm willing to pay for the help.

Thank you in advance for your recommendations.
