"The company is being tried to bring in to our bank on credit"

"The company is being tried to be brought in to our bank on credit"

Which one is ok? Also which verb do you prefer instead of "bring in/brought in" like gain/pull it in etc.. Thanks

Neither of the sentences makes much sense to me, maybe because I'm not really into banking. I think you should avoid passive voice. "Being tried" means the company is put on trial. Try something like: " We are trying to bring the company in to our bank on credit" or better: " We are trying to get the company to open a credit account with our bank"

Volcano, can you restate the meaning of your sentence in other words?

So his interpretation was correct? His second suggestion reads far more naturally to me.

As a native speaker, I would not be sure what that first suggestion means. I don't know what you mean when you say you are bringing a company "on credit."
