@rohitdotmittal Sounds like a great product!

@rohitdotmittal Great product! You are saying that "You can get an account on B-1/B-2 (...) and many more visa types." while in the website it says "B1/B2 and several other visas are not eligible." Can you clarify that?

@rohitdotmittal Congrats on the launch, looks very cool! Is it possible for an expat like me, who is a US citizen but lives elsewhere, to sign up for a Stilt account + card? For some reason I can't find a bank that'll open an account for me with a debit card because I don't have a residence in the US.

@rohitdotmittal I'm confused. The eligibility says "You need to be physically present in the U.S. during the application process."

@mrahmadawais Hi Ahmad, we also have a lending product and the link may be pointing to eligibility requirements of our unsecured loan product. We will get this fixed.

Virtual cards, No SSN, foreign transaction or wire transfer fee, being FDIC insured are all very attractive for all, including immigrants. Many Many congratulations Rohit, Priyank and team. All the very best to you all.

Congratulations Stilt team! As an immigrant, I know how hard first few months can be in a new country. Having access to a bank account will alleviate much of that stress. Wish you a lot of success!

I like it. It's getting harder and harder to open bank accounts when you travel compared to ten years ago. Transferwise was a life saver. Glad to see others tackling the market

Countless times have I wished for something like this to exist. The embedded credit facility is a life savior early on. Congrats and thanks for building this!

Can I sign up from outside the USA as a non USA resident with a visa ?

@salim_ramees Yes, absolutely. You can sign up and we open the account for you. It will be activated immediately after you arrive in the US. We hope to make it convenient and simple to access all the services soon after you land.

The idea of opening a bank account before landing in a foreign country is very appealing - 1 less thing to worry about. However, the stilt.com site & eligibility section (stilt.com/eligibility) doesn't indicate anything about the bank account rather only about loans.

Hi Naren, thanks for pointing it out. We will update the criteria for the bank account soon. The eligibility criteria are simple - anyone in the U.S. or moving to the U.S. with a valid visa, employment authorization, or residency status is eligible to open an account with Stilt.
