WYOMING BANK ACCOUNT FOR YOUR WYOMING COMPANY?

Contrary to what other incorporators may tell you, it isn’t necessary to have a Wyoming bank account for a Wyoming corporation or a Wyoming LLC. even when operating out of Wyoming. Just the same, you don’t need a Nevada bank account for a Nevada corporation. Now, you can bank anywhere with the advent of internet banking.

The need for a Wyoming bank account became obsolete in 2010. Do a search for “small business internet banks” and you’ll find a large selection of online banks that will meet your needs.  See below for better choices.

  • Use an internet bank. Why bank out of Wyoming? You’ll get the same access to your money through an internet bank and better terms. ATM cards, credit card processing, and more.
    • FirstIB.com
    • Everbank.com
    • Etrade.com
    • Azlo.com
    • BankNovo.com
  • Consider not using a bank account at all.  Look into a brokerage account in the name of the company. Brokerage accounts also provide check writing privileges.  When opening the brokerage account, they want to see that you applied for the EIN of the company with your Social Security Number.
  • BankofAmerica.com opens bank accounts online. They promptly send you a welcome kit with your account information. After that, go to any local BOA branch to make a deposit or withdrawal at any brick and mortar location.

If you’re intending to file your Wyoming corporation or Wyoming LLC in another state as a foreign entity (foreign qualify), then bank in that state.

How do you open a business bank account?

Provide the bank the following documents:

  • Wherever you bank, you’ll need the following to open the bank account:
    • Copy of the Wyoming corporation’s articles of incorporation/Wyoming LLC articles of orgnization
    • Certificate of good standing
    • Employer Identification Number (EIN)
    • Your Social Security Number (SSN)
    • Initial deposit of at least $100 for banking or $500 for online brokerage account
    • Resolution to open account
    • Any written application instructed by the bank for completion
