Aeldra CEO Sukeert Shanker said: “To access global banking, the simple act of opening a US bank account without a SSN is challenging for customers, let alone getting approved for a US credit card or loan. Globally-mobile and affluent individuals across the world deserve more.

“With Aeldra, they can now open an FDIC-insured US bank account with a Global Mastercard Debit card from their home country in five minutes. After US, Canada and the UK are other major markets.

“Aeldra intends to serve a common pool of overseas professionals, students, families, investors, small business owners and freelancers with banking and investment needs in those markets.”
