    Hey,

    I am located in Israel and i have an account with E*Trade, they have 1 year free and then 40$ per 3 month, i don't like this deal.

    do you know any other bank in the USA, which has only opening fees for the account without a "support fees"?

    I am also interested in such bank who has a branch in Israel, i am opened to suggestions... anyone?

    Tnx a lot.

    wrong...
    i used etrade for about 8 month and didn't buy any stockes... they charge a service fee of 40$ per 3 month after 1 year of use. so if u buy stocks u don't pay that fee.... i need a US bank account (even without a branch here) that can accept no SSN applications and forigen users, who has low fees and only 1 time fee... i heard once of a bank called square or something....

    I can surely open one for a fee it would be under my name. All banks require ssn and you can push the money..into the account via paypal and you would have a card you could use to make purchases and such

    Don't you think that would be a bit dodgy?? Offering to open a bank account for someone else. Note that all income going into that account will leave you liable for tax etc.

    I wanted to open a US bank account too. (I'm in the UK)
    The only way I can do it now is to go to a branch in the US with my passport. I need to appear in person. It can no longer be done online since the security measures introduced after 9/11.
    A google search will show some companies that offer to open you a business account, (which is still possible) but it will cost in the region of 1 - 2 thousand bucks. It's much cheaper to fly to the US and open one yourself :)
