The Problem
A common requirement is the ability to fund a U.S. brokerage, custody, or investment account. The banking provider will want to understand the ownership of the sending company, ownership of the investment account, source of funds, and purpose of the payment.
For Argentina-connected businesses, the issue is rarely the account number alone. Providers evaluate the complete flow of funds: who sends the money, where it originates, who owns it, why it is being moved, which payment rails are required, where it goes next, and whether the activity involves the company's own money or third-party funds.
That is why our approach starts with the transaction rather than with a random account application.
How We Can Help
Depending on the profile and provider approval, we can help assess and source a structure that may include:
USD named account
SWIFT or U.S. domestic wire capability
payments to approved brokers
payments to custodians
investment account funding
treasury-to-investment transfers
provider review of destination institutions
The objective is to identify the smallest workable structure that supports the actual business requirement.

The exact legal and banking structure depends on the facts of the transaction, the account provider, the countries involved, and whether regulated payment activity is present.

What Providers Will Usually Want to Understand
Before onboarding, expect questions around:
company ownership and UBOs;
business activity;
source of funds;
source country and sending institution;
destination country and beneficiary;
currencies;
expected monthly volume;
number of transactions;
average and maximum ticket size;
whether third-party funds are involved;
whether crypto or stablecoins are involved;
payment rails required;
major counterparties;
and the commercial or investment purpose of the transaction.
A complex transaction is not necessarily unbankable. An unexplained transaction is much harder to place.
What We Need From You
Send us the company profile, required currencies and payment rails, incoming and outgoing countries, monthly volumes, transaction counts, average and maximum ticket sizes, major counterparties, whether funds are corporate or third-party, whether crypto is involved, and the specific banking problem you are trying to solve.
If you already have a flow-of-funds diagram, send it. If not, describe the transaction in plain English and we can convert it into one.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I wire directly to a U.S. broker?
Potentially, if both the account provider and broker accept the transaction.
Will the provider ask who owns the brokerage account?
Yes. Ownership and relationship between sender and beneficiary are material.
Can the money come from a third party?
Third-party funding is more complex and may be restricted.
