US bank account. Non resident, non citizen.
Hello
Does anyone have any information on the preferred/best bank for a non US resident or citizen to set up an account. Google informs me it is allowed. I found on the HSBC US Web site details on their offering but am looking on any further suggestions. Initial deposit will be from a third country then future deposits from UAE.

I'm not sure how to request an account "remotely" but if you are able to take advance of any USA visit... just show up in any wells fargo and let them know. I got mine like that, it'll take you 20-30 mins.
They'll give you a savings account with debit card and checks and charge you with some 10-12 bucks a month.

Used to be you could set up an account via the internet only, but then that was pre-9/11. I had a US Mailing address - not sure if it mattered. You might consider having someone is the US set up a mailbox for you if need be.

If you have to open one statside use a state that has no personal income tax for the address and the branch where the account is held otherwise you get on their radar for earning interest with no accompanying state tax return, then they start assessing you , then it turns into a clusterf&&k, then if you visit that state frequently they may do a residency audit, then yada yada yada
Best get a USD account at a Uk bank and leave well enough alone.
