Hi you mentioned Mercury.Co who I have heard⁠ of, do you know much about? Do you know anybody who has or does actually⁤ make use of them?
 
Hi, if you still need an account in the US for your business then just‌ use Payoneer, I have been using it for ages and it works very well for‍ people in south africa
 
Hi BadX thanks for your reply,⁠ are a South African if I may ask and I you using this to yourself⁤ to get paid out of the US? Sorry for the direct questions but I am⁣ really trying to find a solution to my problems. Have a super day further and⁢ thanks for your assistance.
 
I am South African and yes I do receive payments using Payoneer from US and⁣ European countries and just withdraw cash directly to my SA account and it only takes⁢ about 3 days if you use FNB
 
Thanks a ton⁠ Badx, are currently trading in the US in terms of payments in the US and⁤ Europe?
 
1) in person account openings are the only possibility for non-corp US accounts. (it works,‌ really (been there done it, got it)
2) transferwise is fine for receiving money (as‍ long as it legit, and can be documented)
3) Pyoneer also gives you a US⁠ account number, but is more limited.
 
But you‍ will still need to have a reason for them to open the account or can⁠ you just walk into the bank with your passport and utility bill from India and⁤ ask them to open an account. Will they smile and dance and just open the⁣ account as you say?
 
Opening a bank account⁤ in the US as a non-resident is very hit or miss. You can find reports⁣ of people who have tried and failed, and people who have done it successfully for⁢ themselves and/or for their US LLCs.

From what I've gathered, if you are visiting in︀ New York or Miami, your chances of getting approved are higher than if you are︁ elsewhere in the country (except maybe Delaware, and you want to open an account for︂ a Delaware LLC). Wells Fargo, JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America, and US Bank are︃ reportedly open to non-residents. In California, there are some smaller, regional banks that will consider︄ people from Asian countries but I'm not aware of any for Indians, it's mostly for︅ Chinese and Koreans and South East Asia.

Show up with passport, proof of address, recent︆ bank statement, and credit card statements (and the corresponding credit card). If you get rejected︇ just go to another bank.
 
Did you succeed, I found them and a few other in the mentor‍ group already but had troubles to get a response from this bank or what it⁠ is.
 
Does someone has an update if this can work and how they get this work‌ or where are we with the account opening in the US for foreigners?
