Zolve allows users to establish a bank account from their home country for use in the United States, as well as debit and credit services. These accounts come with FDIC protection (through partner bank) for amounts up to $250,000 and can be established completely online before arriving in the USA, with any amount as a starting balance and no upfront fees.
“Traveling to a new country for work, school, or to even visit, can be challenging enough without the added concerns of navigating a foreign country’s financial services landscape,” said Raghunandan G., founder of Zolve. “Zolve and i2c’s partnership works to offer these individuals a smooth transition, saving users time and empowering them with financial security from their first moment in the US,” he continued.
