Finding it difficult to find a bank for our LLC's needs.

I have startup LLC partnership (3 owners) with one member who lives in The Netherlands. We need a bank (possibly an online bank), where the 3 of us can ALL be listed as owners, with a means for each of us to make deposits and withdraws. Our foreign member has an EIN to help, if necessary, as he does not have a US SSN. We have found banks that will accept our foreign member as an owner, BUT they don't do international wire transfers. Does such a financial institution exist?? Or, does anyone have any alternative ideas?

5. **PNC Bank**: PNC offers a variety of business services, including business checking and savings accounts, cash management, and payroll services.

Before making a decision, consider the following factors:

- **Fees**: Look for banks that offer low-fee or no-fee accounts.
- **Location**: If you need to visit a branch regularly, choose a bank with locations near you.
- **Online and Mobile Banking**: Look for banks that offer robust online and mobile banking platforms.
- **Customer Service**: Check customer reviews to gauge the bank's reputation for customer service.
- **Additional Services**: If you need services like payroll, merchant services, or business lending, find a bank that offers these.

Please note that the best bank for your LLC will depend on your specific needs and circumstances. It's always a good idea to research and compare several options before making a decision.
