So do you think there is a workaround for this with these certificates?
Yes, I do. As already said, The Certificate of Incumbency is probably your best bet, The Articles of Association etc. could help, too.

Disclaimer ;) Of course, this does not mean that Paysera will inevitably like you and your business... :)

The Certificate of Incumbency is typically issued by a notary, while the others are issues by the company itself. Typically you can only get an apostille for a document from the state of issued by a notary. Hence for the operating agreement you could get a notarized copy which you can then apply the apostille.

That's what I meant. The chances of them accepting a statement from a notary is higher than having a notary certifying a copy of something that could be faked.
Yes, now I understand what you meant; it was just a misunderstanding – and you are right with what you wrote.
(And you probably were referring to this
Or provide official registry extract in English with above mentioned information verified by notary apostille (notary has to certify not only signature or copy true, but also that content is correct)
I guess.)

Just as a side-note, in some states (e.g. NV or TX) The Articles of Association / Operating Agreements are often written down in the presence of a notary, AFAIK; so this changes the game, yet this is not so for WY – TBMK.

Maybe, he can register a branch somewhere where they list the UBOs in the registry, apply for paysera and then close it again.

Otherwise, he can do Singapore it is also as tax free as the US LLC but has a public registry.

I have a US LLC, am non-resident in the US, and signed up to 18 different EMIs.

This is the result after a week:
  1. 3S Money - Asked for $20 to process my application + it charges $100 a month for having the account open
  2. Airwallex - Approved
  3. Brex - Rejected because I have no venture capital (startup focused apparently)
  4. Currenxie - Doesn't offer services to US businesses
  5. Juni.co - Doesn't offer services to US businesses
  6. Mercury - Application still pending
  7. Novel - Application still pending
  8. Payoneer - Wants the withdrawal account to be in the LLCs name (no point having the account then)
  9. Paypal - Doesn't offer services to US businesses to non-residents
  10. Paysera - Doesn't offer services to US businesses
  11. Payset - Doesn't offer services to US businesses
  12. Relay - Won't accept my proof of address because it's not in english. Support doesn't answer through e-mail
  13. Revolut - Doesn't offer services to US businesses
  14. Satchel - Asked way too many questions about where funds would come from, how much and where they would go to before even opening the account
  15. Stratys - Doesn't offer services to US businesses
  16. VertoFX - Application still pending
  17. Wallter - Asked for 500 EUR to open the account
  18. Wise - Approved
Hopefully this helps others in the future.
How is it going with the PENDING applications you had by time posting this thread ? and what about the one you got approved with are they still operating or did they shut you down for some reason in the meantime ?

I believe the ones pending by then ended up not responding at all, except Mercury which approved me but I never used it. Since I was approved with Wise and Airwallex I didn't bother pursuing them further. Wise suspended my account in less than 3 months due to cryptocurrency related transactions. I've been using Airwallex since then and have had 0 issues.

Good update. Lot's of waste of time at your end with all these EMI applications.
