How to open USA bank account for offshore company

[Martin Everson]

If you are not from UK and want to open a⁤ bank account in UK you need to provide a TIN. You can't open an account⁣ in any AEOI/CRS country without providing a TIN if you are not resident there. The⁢ TIN provided within Tax residency self certification form is needed.

Not sure what you are︀ talking about.

FATCA, CRS and other inane laws were never about terrorist financing or money laundering. It's all‍ about tax evasion. The US government couldn't care less about foreigners opening US accounts with⁠ foreign addresses that fall outside IRS jurisdiction. If they can't tax them, they don't care⁤ about them.

Strictly speaking, if you're not resident in the UK, no UK⁣ bank will deal with you, period. Tax residency / self-certification is a very recent development⁢ - it's a CRS thing. The US is not a signatory and US banks don't︀ have to ask for this information, just like UK or EU banks didn't ask before︁ CRS.

I respond to each post in order. Do you want me to skip‌ ahead?

 

[Martin Everson]

This is incorrect. Retail banks will not deal‍ with you but Private banks will.

Read all the existing posts first and then reply. Don't reply‍ and then later read the next post I made....thx

No one claimed those laws were about⁤ terrorist financing or money laundering. Don't make stuff up and attribute it to people...lol. Not⁣ sure what you are trying to achieve by doing that.

We are getting slightly off track here. This post was about opening a US account‌ as a non-resident visitor with a foreign passport and no SSN/ITIN. Bottom line, it's more‍ than doable. I've done it (albeit not recently), I know people who have done it,⁠ and it's no big whoop.

Yes, as I and‌ others have said here, it's super easy at almost any US bank. I have no‍ idea how people claim to have failed to open accounts there. The only reason must⁠ be they haven't really tried.

I did not attribute anything to anyone,⁠ nor did I "make stuff up". My posts express my opinions and my opinions only.⁤ Not everything is about you, Mr Everson 🙂
