Setting up USD Direct Debit

I’m needing to set up at USD account from the UK that will accept USD direct debit. Does anybody have any ideas of the one that will do that?

I know that most accounts look for a minimum investment which we cannot do.

I’ve also looked at TransferWise borderless account but it looks like I can only set up Direct Debits from the GBP part of it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Many on this forum overcome this challenge by transferring money from other accounts or a day or two and then transferring back and doing the same next month (all by standing orders)
    Never pay on an estimated bill. Always read and understand your bill
  • IMO you will not be able to find an account in the UK that will do what you want to do.
    Will the beneficiary accept credit cards instead of a direct debit?

    Will any of these USD accounts allow domestic (ACH) Direct Debits?
