Please advise how to open U.S. business account in Bank of America remotely by email with scans for non-US and non-EU citizen ? (I am from Asia). Thx!
No! It is possible for non resident with EIN, I say this from my experience. SSN not need, I opened a U.S. bank account for my company by email via my accountant in USA (but I am not US citizen or US resident). And if you are not to know how can do this, please do not confuse the people.
Velvezul, how long ago was this that you had opened that bank account, since policies have changed quite hard with concern to US bank accounts.
That's not possible. Avoid getting into trap of online fraud. Do not believe if someone promises you the same.
Well I was interested me too to open US bank account for LLC company in Dealware ( I contacted legalzoom.com ) the requirement to open bank account was : 1. LLC Formation 2. EIN - Tax ID 3. A registered agent 4. US mailing address with electronic mailing services like scan, email, regular mail - Volume of mails will not be much though! 5. Accounting, tax & returns reporting service. Also I called by Skype Bank of America ..the answer was : SORRY.. Since 9/11 it is almost impossible for a non-US resident to get a US bank account online.In your case though with your credentials (PASSPORT AND LLC DOCUMENTAION) you could open an account if you could provide a US address you may need to travel to the US in person though. You can indeed use the US Payment Service to receive payments from Amazon or whatever using Payoneer .they provide you with a US account/routing number that can receive funds only, and all payments received are then loaded directly to your Payoneer card. Check here with Payoneer stuff Online USA bank account is scam !! YOU ARE WARNED !!
Sure, if you call to Bank of America, they tell you that it is not possible but I am opened through a friend of mine - this is a bank employee and accountant, so not need to travel to USA, need just signed and notarized the Power of Attoney and send by email to bank employee.
Non-citizen residents in the United States have many reasons to want to open a bank account. Indeed, it can make it easier to manage money when you have a bank account, especially if your visit to the United States will be of a lengthy duration. Realize, though, that non-citizen residents are required to go into the bank in person; you can’t open an online account if you are not a U.S. citizen.

Citibank offers direct US accounts. Most countries have Citibank presence, you just need to walk into a citibank branch and they can open an US account for you. You might need to have an account with Citibank for that though.
Its Possible to get an Account in US bank. Some banks provide NRI Account facility but you will require a US Residence Address for correspondence But there are many limitations on that. Try to Google such Banks in US
