and know your customer policy (KYC)
The Patriot Act and
Know Your Customer Policy
Post 9/11/2001 and the Patriot Act,
Non-US-Residents find it difficult to open a
US Bank Account or USD based Bank Account.
Banks have to open new accounts based on the
Know your Customer Policy:
Know your customer (KYC) is the due
diligence that financial
institutions and other regulated companies
must perform to identify their clients and
ascertain relevant information pertinent to
doing financial business with them.
One aspect of KYC checking is to verify that
the customer is not on any list of known
fraudsters, terrorists or money launderers,
such as the Office of Foreign Assets
Control's Specially Designated Nationals
list. This list contains thousands of
entries and is updated at least monthly. As
well as sanctions lists there are lists of
third party vendors that track links between
persons regarded as high-risk owing to
negative reports in the media about them or
in public records.
 How do we
assist you with opening your bank account?
Most Commercial and Retail Banks do not
allow Non-US-Residents maintain an individual
or a corporate bank account due to lack of
social security number, business address,
credit history and track record.
Globes America
understands the need of Non-US-Residents to
have a USD Business Bank Account. We maintain
long term working relationships with US and
International Banks to provide USD banking solutions
for Non-US-Residents. We will
work with you to meet the requirements of "Know Your
Customer Policy" and open your USD Bank Account.
The banks we work with are
willing to open an account for US LLC or US Corporation owned by a
Non-US-Resident. They expect us to process an initial screening to our
clients and prepare a semi due diligence and bank account application.
Based on the information we provide to the bank a principal approval to
open the account will be granted.
Then we will assist you
with filling up a complete new bank account application which you will
mail to the bank. The bank will process the application in few days and
open the account.
