A Guide to Using doola Money

Welcome to our latest service, doola Money, a revolutionary payment account that facilitates seamless international money transactions while ensuring the safety and security of deposited US dollars.

In this article, we’ll delve into the key features, benefits, and the step-by-step process of applying for a doola Money account.

What is doola Money?

doola Money is a payment account that enables users to do a few things, including:

• depositing and storing US dollars

• making ACH and wire payments in the US

• send money internationally using FX or currency exchange transactions

Many businesses today operate globally, and by using doola, business owners, no matter where they are based, can now pay themselves, pay employees, and vendors, and move that money internationally in minutes, not days.

For example, a business owner in India with a doola Money account and a US business can move dollars from their US account to their Indian bank account, convert it from USD to INR, and only pay a small fee on the transaction.

How Does doola Money Work? Why Is It Different?

Unlike traditional bank accounts, doola Money transactions do not involve a physical card. Instead, all transfers are executed electronically, including ACH, wire, and wire with FX.

While it may differ from a conventional business bank account, doola Money provides the assurance of FDIC insurance, ensuring the safety of deposited funds.

With doola Money, you get the best of both worlds – business banking and international money movement solutions.

• You have an ACH account, allowing you to process payouts from payment providers like Stripe or PayPal.

• You can take payouts from Amazon, eBay, or Shopify.

• You can move that money internationally in minutes to any continent in the world, enabling you to pay and get paid in US dollars from anywhere remotely, without a social security number and without a US credit history.

Being able to move money internationally in minutes without a social security number or US credit history is a game changer, as it’s typically one of the biggest hurdles international founders face when doing business in the US.

Who Can Use doola Money?

Almost anyone can apply for a doola Money account, as long as you have:

• required photo identification

• proof of address document

• a US business

• a tax ID number

• running a legitimate business

Let’s take a look at a few use cases and the types of people who can find value from using doola Money.

Firstly, a US business (an LLC or C-Corp) with international founders or founders who spend time internationally can benefit, allowing them to pay globally, whether it’s employees, contractors, or vendors, and transact via wire in the US.

Another category is someone who needs a way to deposit funds from payment processors like Stripe or PayPal. doola Money allows for a secure and simple deposit of funds collected through these processors.

Lastly, doola Money is ideal for first-time business owners who need a simple ACH account to safely deposit their funds. The FDIC insurance provides security, and they can move that money internationally for either no fee or a small fee, depending on the country and currency.
