How to open a US bank account and use it for paypal account

    Hello,

    Since I am from India, I cannot use my paypal funds directly for payments. I am using CC to pay payments but paying around 59 to 60Rs per 1USD. When I receive to my bank, paypal pays me around 54Rs for 1USD, of course nothing new. So I am thinking of getting a US bank account with which I want to open a paypal account. How can I get US bank account being a NON resident, I heard there is way but not aware of it.

    Please guide me

    Regards

    As a non resident you can still get a basic account but I don't think you need much more to run your paypal business
    I'll be pleased to help you

    I would recommend that you get a USD bank account from a financial services provider in your home country.

    I've had a bank account in the US since the early nineties, at that time only to keep my money from currency devaluation. Back then, I couldn't imagine it would end up being so useful!

    I opened it during a trip to the US, using my passport.

    Years later I had no problems verifying that account to Paypal. But things are not so great, my Paypal account being from another country.

    Paypal always charges me my country's fees, which have become increasingly higher. If I get paid from somebody from the USA, I am also charged an additional percentage for being an "international" payment. No currency conversions in the process, but high fees anyway.

    Legally it is NOT advisable to use Fake US PP account because if PP knows they will limit account for 180 days

    You may be able to open a US Bank Account but when Paypal wants to verify your Street address how are you going to handle that?

    The problem is, PayPal is quasi-monopoly, so it's not always feasible (or easy) to use an alternative.
