@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.

Wait, how is this even legal? Can this be opened by any US citizen? How do you prevent people abusing these kind of accounts to stash away cash from IRS as there is no SSN linkages. How does your IRS reporting works?

@shital_shah Hi Shital, Yes this is totally legal and U.S. citizens can also open an account. By democratizing access to immigrants, we do not exclude people with SSNs. Stilt account is built on top of a real bank behind the scenes. We follow best practices to prevent money laundering and the bank does the same.

Sounds promising, I'm curious that how do you guys make money since you don't take no fees? Do you have any B2B business model behind the curtain?

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!
