Yes, it is possible to open a US savings and checking account with us if you are currently in the US and have a foreign document, as long as your country is not on the list of restricted countries. Additionally, you need to have a residence address in the US with a US mobile phone (you cannot use a VoIP number).

In the near future, we will also be offering the option to open a foreign account if you are in one of the approximately 30 countries that we will support.

We appreciate your interest in elroy and are excited to offer you account services regardless of your location. If you meet the eligibility criteria, we welcome you to apply and enjoy the benefits of our platform.

For more information on restricted countries and additional documentation requirements, please refer to our article here: https://help.elroy.app/en/articles/8031564-restricted-and-additional-documentation-countries-for-elroy-application.
