Hi all members
I am not a USA resident and I found a site that says you can open USA bank account even if you are not a resident and get also a VISA card.
For me it is too good to be true.
the site is:
http://www.uscheckingaccount.com
can anyone of you tell me if it is a genuine business or scam.
Bye for all and thanks in advance

I know that it is possible for non US residents to have a US account but I can not tell you wether the site that you posted is genuine.

You could ask them for references from existing clients and the like.

Regards,

Now

Dear NOW
c
do you know a reliable company that can help me open a bank account in USA?
Thanks a lot

The site you mentioned is selling the info on E*TRADE brokerage
account. This account works much like a US checking account and
is available to Non-US resident. I have my account with them. You
can get all the info free at the following links.

Bank_account_opening_kit.rar
us bank account for non-us residents

The link expired, is there any other way to get it?

Thanks!

I have got it, thanks!

E-trade accounts expensive $1000.00 opening deposit

I think Citibank USA has option for non residents.Try searchin International Personal Banking Citibank USA.U will get link for non residents.But u have to verify doccuments either by US embassy or citibank branch in your home country.

I opened my account with only about 6 bucks that I had on my paypal and got my visa card fedex.

The 1000 is recommended but you dont need it.

Interesting,

Most U.S. banks will require citizenship and SS# to verify deposit account holders, so if getting a Visa card is your main concern, then Paypal or eTrade may be your better option depending on what country you do reside in.

Good luck to all, MIke

Anyone who is a non-US resident opened a E*TRADE brokerage account in the last 3 months ?

Hi,

can You please send me the web link of etrade where can I open account with them or link to application on etrade.

Thanks,

Bojan

A part from the mentioned options it's really really hard to open a US bank account being a non-US resident. Especially since the 9/11 events things got much stricter.

I saw in someother forum, some members offering services to open US bank account. Not sure if they are reliable.

If you have this requirements you can open an account in US without being a US Resident.

note: this is not etrade account, tomato bank, accent card, well cargo and VMI card.


Requirements:

- Copy of Passport(e.g. Your Country Passport)
- Copy of National Identity Card (e.g. Driver's licenses)
or

Address Documents

- Utility Bill (e.g. electricity, gas or water bill, or tax bill)
- Bank / Credit Cards Statement for last 3 months or Reference letter from current banker (must state that the account is in good standing)"
or
- Lease Contract
- W8 Ben (if applicable) [ Each applicant should complete and sign a separate form for the following circumstance

Thanks

i think etrade is in deep

I have helped quite a few clients establish a bank account in the U.S.
and you can have internet banking and a visa card or mastercard.


This is not Tomato bank or e-trade. It is a very large established
bank and very well capitalized.

Hi. I found that you helped few poeple to open a US account. Can you help me in opening a US bank account in US? I am from UAE. I am looking forward to hearin from you. Bye for now and have a nice day.

You contacted me by email, didn't you? Yes, I have helped people do this.

What was your email? my email is ssumaida@eim.ae, I am looking forward to hearing from you.

There are some great programs that are for U.S. only, so if you are non U.S., it is good to have a U.S. bank account and mailing address. Some of those companies do provide both, as well as a credit card. It is best when the opportunity is GLOBAL, that way there is no worry about being left out if you are non-U.S.
