Currently I am looking into getting US bank accounts for my LLCs. I have too much in my IBKR LLC accounts and don't like this.

If needed I will travel to the USA for this, but of course I prefer to do it remotely.

I saw Starthub has $29/momth accounts that will give me a proof of address.

With a proof of address in the USA are there any (regular) banks I can open remotely?

How did you top up your ibkr LLC account?
You need a business bank account for that.

If you can travel to Florida (this is the best bet), you can open a bank account with not much hassle just walking into a bank branch. And no real proof of address is needed. Just have some at hand.

You want to look here https://jamesbakercpa.com/packages (pay attention to No Travel VIP Bank Account - $2,500); also @yngmind can be able to help you in this situation, too (depending on the circumstances); see here https://www.offshorecorptalk.com/th...-bank-account-for-your-us-llc-remotely.44841/

Generally, @johanmichel: There have already been interesting discussions re: banking for US LLC here at forum. Using the search function is recommended before posting a question! (You will probably learn more than it is written here.)

You can transfer from your personal IBKR to your company IBKR if you link both accounts.

Not the other way around though.

That's interesting.
Thanks for the information.

OP if you have some big numbers in your IB, we may help with Chase Business Bank account.

I just made transfers from my personal bank accounts here in Poland. I use Relay to remove funds.

Also I made a transfer test to my sole proprietorship bank account over here and that worked fine as well.

Where do you bank with your company, do you made any decision already ?

Hey

I use Wise and Relay for now, but don't feel too safe with this tbh... I need better options, because I'm worried about my funds getting stuck in IBKR...

How did you open an account with Relay? I think they require a physical US address and perhaps a US phone number as well. I checked it long time ago, so I can't remember 100%
