We cannot currently open a Bancoli account for a business registered in any other US state or United States territory. The owners can be located in any US jurisdiction as long as their business is located in a supported US state or another supported country.

Beneficial owner tax residence

A beneficial owner does not need to live in the same country as the business registration. We still cannot open an account if any beneficial owner holds tax residence in:

  • Cuba
  • Iran
  • Myanmar (Burma)
  • North Korea
  • Palestine (Gaza Strip and West Bank)

Business registration

Eligible unless listed here. We cannot open a Bancoli business account if the business address is in one of these countries or territories. Countries where we cannot accept a locally registered business, but where the owner is still eligible through a business registered in a supported country, are marked UBO only.
