If you want to open a bank account in the United States, to enjoy credits in this country or other tax benefits, it is important to know that some banks allow online opening for non-residents, and of course not all traditional banks.
The first thing to keep in mind is that specific requirements may vary depending on the bank and individual situation and you should always read the terms and conditions carefully before opening a bank account, not just in the US but anywhere, even in your country of residence.
What does the United States consider a “non-resident”? A person who has not become a US citizen or resident alien for tax purposes. There are many “buts”, however, you can do this and get the benefits of having a bank account in one of the countries with the largest economy in the world.
Although traditional banks usually present greater difficulties in opening accounts for non-residents, there are alternative options that allow you to do this easily and completely online, for example through wise.
