Opening a US Bank account as a European
 

Is it possible to open a US bank account as a european? anyone tryed that?

I believe that you have to have a green card to do that.

I got 500+ mails saying I won a Green card, so that should be easy :-/

This sucks.

first ad in google

there must be hundreds of sites offering such services, some should be legit

why do you need a US account?

Its a fucking book!

I'm not asking if you know how to Google, which you just showed you cant. I'm asking if anyone have EXPERIANCE

Because Epassporte have ended the service where you can send money from your european bank to your epassporte account. I need a US banking account to "load" the account up.

I could get a Extra creditcard and load it up with that, but that means a extra account and creditcard to check for safety. It worked perfctly before where I could send money to the accounts I have access to. It was the only reason I could Use Epassporte, but not they have taken that away.

Hmm. Is it just European banks??? Or all banks outside the US??

Depending on the $$ you have, you could open one in the Bahamas.

they only accept US banks now. I dont know when they changed it.

Sorry hun you are screwed.

My partner just talked To Michael from ePass, and it seems it can done if I upgrade to a business account. Our partners will kill us for paying them late :-( but nothing I can do about that now.

I already have us bank account :) For a fair price i can inform you have to get it.

Sorry. Not interested in paying you, since I would hardly call you a creditable source

Offshore Bank account is the way to go, we have a LLoyds TSB £GBP account and an Offshore $USD account and move / transfer USD to GBP and vice versa, works well.

We have a USD debit card too that I can load epass with directly from the account.

The Offshore account is about 80 quid a year.

Hope this helps!

*assuming you are in the UK ;)

Holy crap - only 80 quid a year. ? Im not from the UK, but its worth looking in to.

Not really. All you need is a social security card (much easier to get).

:thumbsup

I think u can do it if you open a Jersey Account with NatWest - they are directly linked into the US banking system and can operate as a US account - noot just a UK Dollar account- ACH etc.

That's how I understood it anyway......

You might have some good qualities after all.

Thanks. Might be a alternative as well. Their services look good judging from their website
