Don't have your EIN yet? You can still open your account.

You've incorporated, but your EIN is still being processed by the IRS. Most banks require it before they'll even let you start an application — leaving founders waiting weeks before they can receive payments, issue cards, or move money. Aspire has an alternative for you.

The usual wait, skipped

  • With Aspire you open an account and begin operations while you secure your EIN — so the weeks the IRS takes don't become weeks your business stands still.

  • Treasury and multi-currency accounts are not available until your EIN is submitted.

  • Provide your EIN within 90 days to keep your account active — otherwise we'll have to close it.

  • Account opening is subject to Aspire's standard identity and eligibility checks. Permanent account activation requires EIN submission.

How it works

  • Submit your application and documents along with your completed Form SS-4 (application for EIN)

  • Our team reviews and activates your limited account

  • Receive your account details and you're live — start receiving payments and issuing cards

  • Submit your EIN once the IRS issues it to unlock your full account
