HSBC ( HongKong and ShangHai Bank ) The name say all, my friend.

 

If I am not US resident but I travel to the USA, Can I open an US bank account with my passport?

 

sure enough that's the best way I guess since you can access into USA

 

Oh! thank you so much for that. But traveling to the USA is the most difficult thing for me.
Is it possible for me if I send my passport or copy to my friend in the USA and ask him for help?

Thanks!
Albert

 

is their any reliable info on the issue.

 

I have friends in the US who own a company that does this. So feel free to ask me ayour questions if you want. It is possible to have a bank account, paypal, credita card and everything. But you first need to incorporate in the US. Yes there are lot of scammers out there that will just sell you the info pack. I am married to a US citizen, but living in a diff country and I couldn´t get a bank account without a SSN. There is a way around this if you incorporate in the US, but it is not cheap (2000-3000usd).

And to clarify the question, anybody saying that you can open a US bank account without a SSN or EID is bullsh***g you!

 

I can assure you're totally wrong many people had created US ban accounts with e-trade without SSN and EID

 

Excuse mebut if you read what they need to give u a bank account, you will see I am right! https://bankus.etrade.com/e/t/bank/ola ( from their own site ) at the same time it says you need that to apply online, if you are not in the US you should contact them. If you have a business registered in the US you can get a bank account too (was this your case? )

 

you can use citybank

 

yoozy, you are right: if you are in the US you might be able to open a personal bank account. Problem is if you cannot get a visa to enter the US you cannot do it! The Us bank may also ask for letters from banks from your country of origin, backing you and your reputation

 

I will keep saying it. You can get a US Bank account as a non-resident, but you need to know how. Every country has got a provision for what is called a Non-resident bank account in their law books, just that people may be are lazy to go look at it.

Personally, I know you can open accounts with Etrade and Wells Fargo as a non-resident, but you need to know how to do it. It is not enough to just go to their website and apply. Special requirements apply.

This information is avaliable, but usually not free.

 

He is correct...Unfortunately I still work for a major US Bank...Hopefully for not much longer.

If you are not planning to come to the United States your but you need to open a U.S. bank account, and you can't get it done online for whatever reason (must likely because the bank is not convinced exactly who you are), your best bet is to open an account with HSBC.

HSBC is a truly international bank, with branches throught many parts of the world. That being said, the only complicating factor about opening a US account is convincing the bank over the phone or internet that you are who you say you are.

Therefore, walk into a local HSBC branch in your country, have your identity verified by opening a local account, and then approach your "own" bank again and explain why you need a North American account, specifically US based...It's all the same bank, they now have a relationship with you, they can open accounts for you specific to almost any region of world with the touch of a button.

I know of one guy who I suggested this two a couple of weeks ago from Brazil, in his case he wrote me back and said HSBC opened both accounts for him the same day! They just need to know who you are.

 

anyone else has any more info on this?

 

Hello,

I'm selling guide that helps non resident gets US Bank account easily and use for your PayPal. You can get Bank of America, HSBC, Washington Mutual, Wells Fargo account. In some case you will need talk to the assistant for verification, they will ask you for personal info, address... etc. And with these banks, you just need Passport (recommended) or national ID, drive license and utility bills. You can also deposit any amount you want to, $10 or $100 or $1000 or even $1 or $0, it doesnt matter. You will get accounts.

And of course, those banks are all legal. That means you can get visa, mastercard and cheque book and all other features such as wire transfer, ACH...

I also provide guides that help you get Swiss Bank account and get free MasterCard for PayPal verification. And I also offer free stuff, they are good for you, they will tell you how to get free US based address and phone number.

You can check website www.goopen.net for detail. If you have any questions, inquires, just email me or PM.

Thank you
