Hello everyone,
I am currently operating a US-based LLC while living outside the United States. I do not possess a Social Security Number and only have an Employer Identification Number (EIN). Therefore, I am looking for a payment gateway that can efficiently handle transactions for a company owned by a non-US resident. I am interested in options that offer user-friendly integration, competitive fees, and robust support for international business operations. Any recommendations or insights into payment processing services that meet these criteria would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your help!
Hey Charlie31,
I really enjoy reading about this kind of setup since I recently bumped up against some of those challenges with international payments for a friend’s startup. I’ve noticed that services like Stripe sometimes make the process look straightforward, even though operating solely with an EIN without an SSN can add some twists. At the same time, I’ve heard a few success stories involving platforms like Payoneer which seem more flexible for non-resident entrepreneurs. I’m really curious—what sort of features have caught your eye so far? Are you leaning more towards a platform with bulletproof integration capabilities and maybe even one that could grow with your business, or are you more focused on the cost-effectiveness in the early days?
This whole journey into international finance seems like a never-ending learning curve. Would love to dive deeper into how you envision your payment processing evolving over time. Cheers for starting this discussion!
My experience with similar setups led me to explore providers that cater to non-resident entrepreneurs without imposing heavy documentation burdens. One approach I found useful was opting for a gateway that integrates seamlessly with US merchant accounts even when you only have an EIN. While some processors can be finicky about identity verification, I discovered that reaching out directly to support teams can yield custom solutions. Evaluating technical features alongside compliance support ensured that integration was smooth and risk was minimized. It is advisable to communicate details early in the process to avoid later complications.
hey charlie, i tried out dwolla and found it user frindly for non-res ident llcs. integration isnt perfect but works fine with just an ein. might be a good fit for your needs. good luck, cheers!
