Not ready for a call? Get the overview →There’s a pattern in this market: spin up a US entity fast with an automated platform, get an EIN, watch the bank application get declined six weeks later. Start over. Different platform. Different bank. Same result. Six months in, no operating account.
Form-filling speed isn’t the same as time to operation. The fastest way to be operating isn’t the fastest filing. It’s one coordinated plan across entity, banking, payments and the markets you’re entering, run by people who’ve done it before.

FT3 was built by operators from American Express, Visa and Worldpay — two decades inside the networks and banks that set the rules international businesses run into. When a provider asks what the underwriter needs to see, we know. We’ve been the underwriter.

US → Czech Republic · +4 EU markets
A US online retailer launching an online store in the Czech Republic, with four more markets to follow. We navigated EU regulation, built their compliance policies, and delivered the technical integration. Live, and expanding fast.

Europe → US
An algorithm decided a healthy account “didn’t fit,” froze customer funds, and left no human to call. We moved them to proper banking and added a backup processor. Paid, protected, growing.
→
Brazil → US
An online tool set up his US entity wrong, blocking banking and payments. We rebuilt it right: correct LLC, US address, bank, processor. Lower fees, higher acceptance.
Real engagements. Client names shared privately on request; we don’t publish anyone’s internal challenges.
Start with the minimum viable submission. Add support only when providers ask for it — or when the case clearly requires more.
We gather your entity, UBO, account-use, and volume details. Within days you have a clear picture of the right path.
We structure and guide your initial submission — clean, consistent, and matched to the right provider for your profile.
We interpret and help answer every provider RFI, so no question goes unanswered and no follow-up stalls your application.
If US footprint is needed, we coordinate it. Once banking is live, we bridge directly into FT3 Pay for payment setup.
Whether you're entering the US or expanding internationally, all engagements start with a free discovery call. Final scope and pricing are confirmed before anything starts — no surprises.
Because the $49 incorporation that can't open a bank account — or gets your application declined — costs you months and a redo, usually right when you've lost momentum with customers or investors. FT3 gets it right the first time: the right entity, the right provider, an application built to be approved. You're not paying for paperwork — you're paying to not get stuck.
Need us after go‑live? Ongoing operating‑partner support from $750/mo — a dedicated operator keeping your US banking, payments and providers running. See plans →
We don't send you a 30-item document list on day one. Here's what we actually need to get started, and what comes later only when providers ask for it.
We had enterprise clients in New York ready to sign, but no US entity that banks would actually approve. FT3 structured our banking narrative, matched us to the right provider, and had our US merchant account live in under six weeks. The first application was the only application.
Land in new markets, move money across them, and grow with operators who’ve done it — use each on its own, or run them as one connected engine.
Book a call with operators who’ve set up and run cross-border entities from the inside. We’ll map the fastest compliant path for your business — no obligation.
