- Why banks flag it like a PO box during KYC
- The address type banks expect instead
Gemini Summary
A registered agent address exists only to receive legal papers - lawsuits and state notices - so banks treat it like a PO box during KYC and reject it. The video explains why founders pass state filing but fail bank onboarding, and what address type to use instead.
Notes
A non-resident founder asked if a registered agent address works as a business address for the bank. Short answer: no. A registered agent address exists for legal papers only — lawsuits and state notices.
During KYC, banks flag it the same way they flag a PO box — so you pass the state filing but fail the bank application. The fix is a real operational business address.
