Personal advice on opening an account (debit card)
First of all, it is not recommended to issue illegal services (such as BOA issuance on behalf of others).,Kaihua Huamei)
In principle, we recommend banks that do not ask about registered foreign RAs (such as Sable,Cheese) and banks that support Witness (such as HSBC Witness,Cathay Pacific Witness)
Most U.S. bank checking accounts (debit cards) differentiate between RA and NRA (non-registered alien),Online account opening often restricts RA (with some exceptions),Such as Sable)
Only mainland China ID card
What can be opened is relatively limited,Maybe VELO is the lowest threshold option,Cathay Pacific Witness can also be considered,If you have money, you can also search for Charles Schwab International,If you really have money, you can ask HSBC,Citi CITI,Can Standard Chartered SCB witness the opening?
I only have a Mainland China passport but no visa or ITIN.
firstIn principle, it is recommended to apply for an ITIN,This is a legal thing,You can also ask an intermediary for help (about two to three thousand in total) and check the ITIN principle yourself.,It is more legal to issue an ITIN on behalf of someone than to issue a BOA on behalf of someone else.,If you have an ITIN, your options will be greatly expanded.。
I only have a Mainland China passport but no visa or ITIN.,You can consider but it is not recommended to open a bank account (such as BOA) at the risk of breaking the law.,You can open Passbook (currently the risk control is relatively high),Recommended opening witness: East West Bank,Others are not much different from the single ID card,If you have money, you can also search for Charles Schwab International,If you really have money, you can ask HSBC,Citi CITI,Can Standard Chartered SCB witness the opening?
Have mainland China passport + US visa
How many more options will there be?
- Highly recommended Sable
- Revolut may not support tourist visas
- A little bit of cheese
- Then those companies that witness often require visa + passport (HSBC,Citi CITI,Standard Chartered SCB)
Have Mainland China passport + ITIN
In this situation,Most can be opened,Read the form yourself
- Capital One is the first choice,The wateriest,Most people,It’s also convenient to place a card,Although his family has many shortcomings,But people are relatively watery,And if you open his store, you get both free of charge.
- GO2bank,Usbank,CITI,Chase can try it later,But because of risk control,Cost and other issues are not as good as C1 (Capital One)
- certainly,Hard cloud SchwebUS can also be considered,But the above often require RA,So your account opening is illegal.,But there is no way,Either open or not,Moreover, the above major banks have relatively complete ACH functions and other conveniences.
- certainly,The best one to use is probably Discover.,But I have no credit history,Opened with ITIN,plus spam address,Often you need to be asked to notarize your address,That is difficult and troublesome (but there are also successful cases)
- You can also consider checking your credit history first.,Then open One Finance
- It is recommended to open Google PayBalance if you have a credit record (proof of address + passport + ITIN is generally acceptable)
- AppleCash recommends that you have records for more than 1 year before trying with ITIN.,Because there is only one chance,If you don’t pass it once, you have to get a US ID.,Same for AppleCard
