Hello friends, welcome to my channel.
In this video I will discuss about How to open a bank account in the United States as a non-resident as well as a non-US citizen. This video will not target US Citizens with non residentship status. This video is for those who don't have any Social Security Number who want to have a US Bank account for travel, investment, business or any other purpose.
Even though US Banks don't require you to have a Social Security Number to open a bank account, for a common person like me and you who are non-resident aliens, it is very tough to get a full fledged physical bank account in one of the US Banks.
