Instant US business banking relay for remote fintech bootstrappers—no compliance headaches.
Remote fintech bootstrappers face a nightmare of international banking compliance and lack access to US business accounts, stalling their ability to accept payments.
RelayUSBank provides a unified dashboard that aggregates Wise, Payoneer, and Revolut accounts into a virtual US ACH-compatible bank feed. It automates payment forwarding to US vendors while handling basic compliance reporting. Bootstrappers get US routing numbers instantly without forming an LLC.
