🇩🇴From Dominican Republic to a U.S. business life
Your route from Dominican Republic: Amex Global Transfer shortcut. Realistic timelines, banking that actually opens, and the package we'd start with — every price public.
The Dominican Republic is a confirmed Amex Global Transfer corridor — unusual for the Caribbean, and a genuine head start for DR founders.
Your path from Dominican Republic
Amex Global Transfer shortcut
Credit route
American Express participates in Global Transfer from your country. If you hold a personal Amex card there in good standing (typically 12+ months), you can apply for a U.S. Amex using your home-country relationship — usually the single fastest legitimate route to a U.S. personal credit file. Approval remains Amex's decision, not ours or yours.
Realistic timeline
3–6 months to a working U.S. personal credit file; 6–12 months to a strong business credit profile.
Banking from Dominican Republic
Fintech business banking (Mercury, Relay) opens remotely with your LLC, EIN, and passport — typically 1–2 weeks. Traditional banks (Chase, BoA) generally require a U.S. visit.
Where we'd start
Business Credit Accelerator — $4,000 — Your Amex shortcut means the personal file comes fast; the value is in building the business credit stack in the right order alongside it.
The premium shortcut
Want to skip the build entirely? Our premium roster of operating U.S. businesses ($25,000–$500,000, fewer than five at a time) transfers established history — including the business credit file — through a genuine acquisition.

How you pay from Dominican Republic — legally
Dominican Republic doesn't restrict paying a U.S. company for services or investing abroad — there's no permission to seek, only paperwork to get right. Payments move by documented bank transfer in your own name; above $10,000 your bank will ask for the invoice and source of funds, and we prepare that with you so it's a ten-minute errand, not a mystery. No agents, no 'special channels' — your bank, your invoice, done.
Here's the shortcut most people don't know: American Express operates in Dominican Republic, which means your existing Amex history can open a U.S. Amex through Global Transfer — a U.S. card in weeks instead of the year it takes to build a file from zero. It's the single biggest accelerator in the whole build, and we structure your credit plan around it.
Exchange-control rules move. We verify Dominican Republic's current position live in your first consultation — before we quote you anything.
Our compliance line — every country, no exceptions
We only work inside your country's rules. Every payment route we accept is a legal one — through your bank, documented, in your own name. If the only way to do something is to go around your central bank, we don't do it, and we'll tell you so in the first conversation. That's not a limitation. It's why what we build for you survives.
