Mercury USA Banking:

One of GFA’s top blog posts, “How to Open a USA Bank Account as a Non US Citizen”  has shown us the need for online, remote banking for international ecommerce sellers. We are blessed to have Mercury join us as a GFA partner and helping those in then community get banking for their business.

Check out our full write-up on their service with a tutorial video here -  or head on over to their service using our partner link to get a cash bonus (terms and conditions apply)

Unipro Consulting Limited

Global From Asia started as an podcast that became an agency helping listeners  to setup and operate their Hong Kong business. Over time, we met Unipro Consulting Limited and it has been a match made in heaven. Unipro understands the needs of online business owners and is helping “digital nomads” and ecommerce sellers run their Asia corporate services from their laptop.
