US Business Banking for Bermuda Exempted Companies

Open a USD account for your Bermuda Exempted Company or Exempted LLC — built for insurance, reinsurance, and holding structures, reviewed in as little as one business day.

Why this matters

Bermuda entities are disproportionately used for (re)insurance vehicles, captive structures, and holding companies sitting above US-facing operating businesses or portfolio companies. That audience needs USD banking that behaves like reliable infrastructure — clean documentation requirements, dependable wires, and fast turnaround so premium flows, claims payments, and distributions aren't held up by banking friction. Hollis & Co, through its partnership with Column N.A., gives BMA-regulated Bermuda Exempted Companies and Exempted LLCs a same-to-next-business-day path to a fully functional USD account — Fedwire, SWIFT, and ACH rails, without needing to set up a Delaware entity first.
