Can Active Filings help me open a checking account?
No, Active Filings cannot assist you with the opening of a checking accounts or other banking related issues. In order to open a checking account you will be required to walk in to the bank of your choice and provide proof of ID (your drivers license or passport), a copy of your articles of incorporation or organization and the company’s tax ID (EIN). If you don’t live in the US, but you want to start a business here, you will have to plan a trip after we have incorporated your business and obtained the EIN. Be careful: nobody can do this for you and if you find a company offering this service, be aware that you could be victim of fraud.
