Is it possible to apply for a US bank account?
 

Is it possible to apply for a US bank account if you are not a US-resident?

Is that possible?

I would like to open an account so I get a CC to accept payments via Paypal.
RIght now , the country where I live is not elegible to receive funds .
All will be solved if I have a bank account in the US.
ANybody knows if it's possible?

You can also open it on your own with Chase for example, if you are good with legal papers... www.chase.com I don't remember an exact URL to the application form...

valisinternational.com only applies for one bank in DE,USA, is that normal?
Is this thing recognized?

You don't have to be a resident or a citizen with them.

That site looks very simple....
Did you try them ?
OR know anybody who did ?
As far as I can see, is possible to get an account :)

Are you talking about getting a merchant account, or just a business account? If you are talking about a merchant account that can accept V/MC transactions, you will need to be incorporated in the US. We can help you with that, and help you with the US merchant account.

Just a bussiness account so I can receive payments from around the world.
I'm planning to start a design online store.
Wich would be the benefits to have a merchant account ? I think I don't need if my only need is to receive money.
what do you think ?
