distance bank account creation in USA banks.. possible ?

03-11-2003, 10:51 AM

Hi, Guys !

I have one question, if anyone knows - please HELP.

I am an european citizen, and it is necessary for me to make an account in one of US banks.
I wouldn't like if I would be forced to fly to USA to make it, so maybe anyone know's a bank in USA where I can make account by post ?
(p.s. for those who might think I am crazy - many of the european banks (even in Germany) has that option).

Thanks a lot for any help!

Hey there,

Just dont go to Bank of America! Not worth your time. Also if you do end up coming here you should research and find out EXACTLY what you need to bring. They are pretty strict here, especially after 9/11....if you dont have the right documents they simply will not open the account. Banks do track and share info with other banks when you attempt to open an account and are refused. So play it safe. Wells Fargo Bank and US Bank are great if they will do it by post.

www.thebancorp.com - i opened accounts from Australia, very painless. Their fees are pretty good, good internet banking, debit mastercard, 24 hour customer service.

You can open an account with any major US bank.

Bank of America
CitiBank
Wells Fargo
etc.

however, they'll ask a minimum deposit to open the account - and you can only get a debit account (No creditcards)

You can call from abroad and set it up - all you need is a phone and fax.

Finally, you can get the statements sent to your location in Europe - no problem.

The only thing is, it's really time consuming to set up.

I contacted USbank.com and NetBank.com - they are the only banks, who answered. Both said that I need to be a resident of USA (temporary or permanent) - anyway I should have US SSN.

Here is the answer of USbank :

_In order to have a account with U.S. Bank you need to reside inside the
U.S.

Wells Fargo and some other banks didn't reply to me at all (I guess their customer support suck
So I don't know now, is it possible to make an account without SSN or not

Check your local banks and see if any of them have US affiliations that you can work thru.

You misunderstood Blu... call YOUR local banks to find one that has a business arrangement with a bank located IN the US. The banks all used to have affiliations that way Worldwide. That way they (your local bank) will vouch for you and their business arrangement should get you set up stateside with out problems. Unless you are from one of the quarentined countries or ethniticities that 9/11 got started.

It's all well and good that your country allows that sort of account to be set up thru email etc, but our laws don't have to be the same as yours. ;-) Our banking system/s were locked down and ratcheted tight to keep a tight rein on who's money is inside our country and to what purpose it is even here.

So unless you find one (US Bank) that allows it, then you most likely will have to hope on of your own countries banks is either here in a physical form or has some sort of business affiliation that will afford you the ability to set up in the USA. You'd have to have a legally accepted reason to even be allowed to have a US account that is in following with whatever they have changed our laws to now as well.

Or you can enter into a business relationship (partial partnership) with a US citizen to hold the account for you on some sort of percentage or set fee basis. I did something like that in the 90's for a couple of German companies. They didn't want to deal with it themselves but purchased materials from my ex's company as well as some others and it was easier for them to have funds inside the US to speed up paying for their things (which got them their shipments faster) I haven't kept up all that much with banking since then in this area.

I have an account with Chase, United Nations Branch, NY. Unless they've changed their rules, non-US corporations can open a small business account. There was no minimum deposit required and there was no requirement to set-up a US company. The only catch was that there was a LOT of paperwork required to create the account.

Hi,

I have a Canadian account with Canada Trust. I also opened a US account with TD Waterhouse bank in New York, which is affilated to Canada Trust. Never set foot in that bank, only did it on the net, and supplied a few papers.
My checks shows my address in Canada; I use that TD account to receive payments and issue US checks to US institutions.

Need a US company. Keep it simnple as I did. Use these guys:

Hmm, well, I will think of an opportunity to buy an Offshore Company in Delawere state (not sure that typed it right).
I guess that will have a bank account prepared and all papers ready.
What do you think of it?

BTW, why Nevada corp.? Is it offshore state too?

Here is the Bank of America answer

_Thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, we will be unable to assist
you with your account request. The bank does not currently accept new
account applications via the mail. A social security number is required
when you apply with us online or via the telephone for verification
purposes._

So it does require SSN too...

By the way , guys..

Honestly, the difficulty is really due to all the new " anti-terrorist" measures. Parania is spreading fast...
