Transparency about our partnerships and commercial relationships
Expat LLC is an affiliate partner of Wise (business banking), Xapo Bank (personal banking) and Tello (US mobile plan). Some links on this site are affiliate links: if you sign up through them, we receive a commission. It costs you nothing extra — the price you pay is exactly the same.
At Expat LLC, we believe in full transparency with our visitors and clients. This page sets out our commercial relationships and how we monetise this website.
An affiliate link is a special link containing a unique identifier that identifies us as the referring source. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase or sign up for a service, the partner company may pay us a commission for that referral.
Key points to remember:
Here is the complete list of our current affiliate partnerships:
Wise is our partner for opening multi-currency business accounts. We take part in the Wise referral programme: when you open a Wise Business account through our link and use it actively, Wise pays us a commission. Wise Business is our recommended choice for holding a US LLC's cash (USD, EUR, CHF, GBP and 40+ currencies, international IBAN, works with Stripe and PayPal).
Xapo Bank is our partner for personal banking (USD, worldwide VISA card, built-in Bitcoin custody). We take part in the Xapo Bank referral programme: when you become a member through our link, Xapo pays us a commission and may give you a welcome bonus. Xapo Bank is a digital private bank based in Gibraltar, well suited to nomads and expatriates.
Our Xapo Bank referral code UGD-NEB-JZ gives you 500 USD in Bitcoin (one-time, since the programme was simplified in May 2026). Full details in your language: français · English · español · português.
Tello is our partner for getting a US phone number (contract-free US mobile plan, from a few dollars a month). A US number is often needed to open a US bank account, complete two-factor authentication (2FA) or receive verification texts while setting up your LLC. When you sign up through our referral link, Tello pays us a commission and may give you a welcome credit. Your price is unchanged.

Our affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content. Our recommendations are based on personal experience and an objective assessment of each service. If we believe a service is not right for a client, we say so plainly — even when that means earning no commission.
