FT3 Launch

US market entry,
done properly.

Launching in the US isn't just filing a form. It's building operational credibility — the right entity, the right banking narrative, the right provider path. FT3 Launch handles all of it, staged so you move fast without stumbling.

The Challenge

The US banking system wasn't designed for international businesses. We were.

Most international businesses form a US LLC before they're truly bank-ready. The entity exists — but banking providers still need to understand the business model, ownership structure, account purpose, and flow of funds before they'll approve anything.

Weak applications mean avoidable delays, rejections, and months of back-and-forth. FT3 Launch structures your case correctly from day one — so you present to banking partners with a clean, credible profile, not a pile of unanswered questions.

The value isn't a link to an application form. It's reducing uncertainty, sequencing the process, and helping you look credible to financial partners — first submission.

🏦 Banking requires more than formation

An LLC alone isn't enough. Providers need to understand your business, account purpose, revenue sources, and ownership — or they decline.

📋 Applications fail without a narrative

Submitting raw documents without a coherent business narrative creates back-and-forth that kills momentum and delays your go-live date.

🌐 Wrong provider = wasted months

Not every US banking provider suits every international business profile. Choosing wrong means starting over. FT3 matches you to the right path first.

How It Works

A staged process that keeps momentum.

Start with the minimum viable submission. Add support only when providers ask for it — or when the case clearly requires more.

01
Start
Profile & Assessment

We gather your entity, UBO, account-use, and volume details. Within days you have a clear picture of the right path.

02

Banking Application

We structure and guide your initial submission — clean, consistent, and matched to the right provider for your profile.

03

Follow-Up Support

We interpret and help answer every provider RFI — so no question goes unanswered and no follow-up stalls your application.

04

FAQ

Common questions about FT3 Launch.

Do I need a US entity already?+
You don't need one yet — but you'll need one. FT3 Launch includes guidance on forming the right US entity (typically an LLC) in the right sequence so banking and payments follow directly. We advise on state, structure, and timing based on your profile.
Can you guarantee banking approval?+
No — and anyone who tells you they can isn't being straight with you. Banking providers make their own decisions. What FT3 guarantees is that your application will be structured correctly, submitted to the right provider, and followed up professionally. We tell you early if we think the path will be difficult.
How long does the process take?+
Simple cases with a clean entity and documentation typically move through banking submission in 2–4 weeks. More complex cases — where US presence or deeper evidence packaging is needed — allow 6–10 weeks. We confirm realistic timelines in the initial assessment call.
What happens after banking is set up?+
We bridge directly into FT3 PAY — your payment processing infrastructure. Once your US banking is established, we set up your merchant account, connect your gateway, and get you processing. The transition is built into every Launch engagement.
Which package is right for me?+
We confirm scope after the initial assessment call — we don't ask you to guess upfront. Most international businesses with a clean LLC and direct client revenue start with Launch Plus. Businesses with a limited US footprint typically need Launch Presence. We tell you clearly after the first call.
