    Does anybody know of any companies that offer bank accounts in UK or Canada to foreigners? I am in the US and I need to get paid in these countries by direct deposit

    A bank here in UK wont open you an account if you arent living/working here and are a USA citizen. Also, if you were going to open an account you would need to get a passport.
