In order to apply for an Adro Business account, your company must be registered in the US. As a founder/business owner, you don’t need to live in the US or be a citizen yourself.
What company documents do I need?
To open an Adro Business account, you'll need to provide:
Your company's formation documents (such as your Articles of Incorporation)
An IRS-issued EIN document, such as: Form CP575, Form 147c, completed SS-4, or a screenshot of your EIN number confirmation from the IRS website
You will also need an international passport or government-issued ID for each founder or majority owner of the company. ID documents should contain your photo, date of birth, issue and expiration dates, and identification number.
What are company formation documents?
Company formation documents are essential for establishing your business legally and are often required when opening a business account in the US.
Your company formation document must include your first and last name, company name, date and US address. It must be either:

Here are the types of company formation documents we accept. You'll be asked to submit at least one of these documents to help verify your business:
Articles of Incorporation
These are legal documents filed with a state government to legally establish a corporation. They include essential information such as the company's name, purpose, and structure.

Partnership Agreement
This is a legal contract between business partners that defines their roles, responsibilities, and how profits and losses are distributed. It helps prevent disputes and protect each partner's interests.
